The pictures above reflect some of the random acts of kindness and thoughtfulness we have received recently from people simply based on reading the blog and recognizing my children’s interest in rainbows, painting, and art.

Each time I received a surprise care package in the mail, I am again overwhelmed with gratitude. I am reminded that David always believed in the goodness of people and I can truly attest to this more now than ever. Your love and support has been unprecedented. I really appreciate that people have not stopped thinking about us and the extreme difficulty of trying to cope with the loss of David.  Almost three months later, while life continues as business as usual for most in the world, the kindness and support continues – people are still calling, coming over to visit, and providing support in many ways as mention in a previous post.

These care packages have really brighten the home, the rainbow cookie was gone within seconds. The girls now have a rainbow that lights up the ceiling in their room at bedtime, and a rainbow decal on the wall over the bed. The Easter baskets came in so handy this weekend. It allowed the girls to have lots of fun decorating eggs and also to have an egg hunt. This was the first time we did an egg hunt at home, I was not planning to but my older daughter was really interested in either going somewhere in search of Easter eggs or as she suggested doing one at home. Luckily, the Easter care basket included everything we needed to have our very own egg hunt outside. The excitement on their faces as they found the eggs was priceless. I am ever grateful for everyone and everything that has been done by so many people that have helped in making my children happy. Thank you!
