Much Much Gratitude

Special Thanks
It has been extremely wonderful to have the support of family and friends. Jennifer and I go into waves of exhaustion, crying, hope, and hysterical laughter. We are always warmed by a card left, a thought posted, or a prayer said. Please continue to do so, it is very warming.

Thanks to Alison for offering us a care package. The mere offer had me tear up. And, thank you Aron and Sara for your prayer. I believe God has children's prayers on speed dial.

Also, special thanks to nurse practioner, Deidre. Whether delivering bleak or hopeful news, a person can't know how significant the tone of delivery can be to loved one's spirit.

I have to thank Alisha, Linda, and Waleska for their availability to take my calls at random times. Thank you for listening and being there. Your friendships are invaluable. Thanks Alisha for your fantastic ears and direct line to the man upstairs. Its good to know a person like you. Thanks Linda for your fine pair of ears as well. And, sometimes cracking jokes about The Real Housewives of Atlanta is just what I need. Thanks Waleska for your enduring optimism. Its always infectious.

Special Thanks, as well, to The Family Church who have been praying around the clock for mom's recovery and for the mini-team that will attend todays 5pm ICU visit.

Thanks to Aunt Camella for hosting a wonderful gathering last Sunday. The food was comforting and the company enriching. Thanks to Cousin Tonette for leading the birthday gathering for my nephew. Thanks to Cousin Stacy and Josh for the barbecue. Thanks, S for the movie company and occasional bad movie bashing.

Thanks to Brad for offering to fix my bed so that it is ready for me when I return.

Special thanks to Aunt Gerri and family for my nephews gift and the financial contribution towards mom.

Thank you to all for the Facebook comments and personal texts.

Even with our present challenges, we are very aware of how blessed we are.
