THANK YOU!!

Can I just say thank you, again?!

I have probably said it hundreds of times over the last few months but I really am so abundantly, incredibly and overwhelmingly thankful.  I'm thankful for all the prayers, love and support.  I'm thankful for my wonderful friends and family who have made sure that we didn't walk this journey alone.  Oh, SO thankful.

Man, I have some amazing friends and family.  I really do and it has truly showed.  Sigh...can I really not think about this without crying, nope, not lately, I can't.  It's okay.  They are happy tears because God is my KING and you all are so AWESOME.

Times like these, make me realize that relationships are so intentional.  I see how God brings people into our lives who compliment us and build each other up. They are there through it all.  Relationships are meant for good, to do good.  That is how God intended it to be and that is how it should be.  Relationships are healthy for the mind, body and soul.  They are food for our heart and boy, have I been fed really good food.

I have seen our God given friends give so selflessly of their love, time and tangibly.

If you know me, you know I don't like to receive help, ever, in any way.  I prefer to be the giver.  But after losing my dear Abigail, it changed some.  I realized that I needed so much because I didn't have much to give, not even for myself.  When I could barely hold the broken pieces of my heart together, an army of friends and family came to my care.  And the best part is, that I never had to ask.  Seriously, that is AMAZING!

So if you're going through something difficult and could use some help, please be open to it.  It will not only help you with whatever it is they are doing for you but it will fill your heart with so much gratitude and that is something nice to feel through the grief.

To all my friends and family who have prayed for us and with us, talked, messaged, texted and visited us, shared your story, been a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, brought us meals, dropped off treats, gifted us Abigail memorabilia and amazingly thoughtful gifts, helped plan and set up Abigail's memorial, filled our home with beautiful flowers and plants, brought Isabel gifts to fill her time and her heart, and so much more, THANK YOU, from every inch of our heart, we thank you.
