We are beyond blessed and grateful for all the support we’ve received. Eventhough we wouldn’t have asked for help ourselves, our children took over and we are so grateful! Literally, we couldn’t make any decisions, buy anything, or even talk to people. So thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts to each and everyone of you for your prayers and all the love shown us. We are taking it a day at time.!
