Grateful


Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
~Marcel Proust


I have needed to write a HUMONGOUS (isn't that a great word?) THANK YOU to all of those involved in the benefit! I came home and had pneumonia for 3 weeks and then my sister came to visit for a week, I know~ excuses, excuses!
We will never know all of those that gave so freely of their time, money, and most of all undying support through prayer and fast. We do know that we are forever changed by all of you! Because of what you have shown our family, I know I have changed. I know that I want to be a better person in so many ways. It has really made me step back and reflect on life and what I need to be changing personally. I wish I could give all of you a big hug and a thank you personally.
Eli is doing very well, he spent five days in the hospital last week due to a complication from a previous surgery... I think we need to expect some kinks here and there. Other than that he is taking his medications and looking like a healthy young man! It is so amazing what modern medicine can do! After all of this, I look at him and can barely believe all of the months in the hospital.
We are truly blessed by our Heavenly Father! He led us to Saint Johns... I truly believe that. I love you and miss you all!
