I cannot even begin to give enough thanks to all of our friends that rallied around us this past week. Along with all of your thoughtful emails, blog comments and messages there were a few acts of selflessness that completely humbled our hearts.
After a meeting today we opened our door and there was a fun box sitting there! It was a box of flowers which is likely to be one of the easiest ways to get a HUGE smile on my face. I was so excited and touched even before I opened it. They were from our dear friends Brandy and Sticky in Ohio.
Andrew and Rachel rescued us from a horribly long day at the airport yesterday. They stood by and helped us search flights and get us home as we tried to get around tornadoes in the midwest. As they helped us with our travel woes they also picked us up from the airport and made sure we made it home safe and sound last night.
Our friends from church, Gisele and Kerry saved us big time by stepping in to take care of Asia and make sure that she was always taken care of and that the loft was watched over. Here is a pic of her sleeping (as is her usual stance while we are working). Although I am pretty sure this is not how she always looked for Kerry. 🙂
I had to go back to your previous posts before replying. I’m so sorry about your loss but am so glad you have the love of others to lift you. May peace be with you and your loved ones.
Katie,
I just read of your sad news. We are so sorry for your loss. You certainly are modeling your mom’s grace as well in your amazing tribute to him. Take care, Katie & Matt
