When Dave and Jenni Sprunger posted their emotional announcement online, I saw it because it had been shared by a Facebook friend
who knew about it because another Facebook friend had shared it. I, in turn, also shared it. So the word got out quickly and reached many.
I didn’t really know Dave when I heard his special message. All I knew was what I had observed. Dave was an amazing talent who sang, played
piano and wrote original music. I saw
him lead worship at Mountain Christian Fellowship but we never became
acquainted. I knew his son, Nate,
because we served together as ushers at the church. I had met his wife, Jenni, when she taught in
the children’s church where Debra and I also served.

So, when Dave showed up at my workplace, I asked him and
Jenni if I could have their permission to bless them and their family by making
a video of Dave’s journey through radiation therapy. I had never before made such an offer to a
patient. But I somehow felt compelled to
ask in this case. Dave and Jenni were appreciative
of my offer and they said ‘Yes”.

What you will see in this video is Dave’s experience on a
treatment table. What you will hear is
Dave’s voice and his piano playing as he sings one of his original
compositions.
That was cool, Dad!
ReplyDeleteThat was incredible!! Thank you for sharing this. My name is Leslie and I am Jenni's cousin. I had no idea what the video would be when I hit play but I'm so happy I took the time to see it. I love the fact that I can see him smiling with his eyes towards the end. They are such amazing people and I love them dearly. My heartfelt thanks to you and your staff for obviously taking care of them both with such loving and gentle hands. God Bless you ��
