Where do I begin?

Thank you for everything. Your love and support has been extensive.

The cards, the groceries, the flowers, fruit baskets, cookies, cupcakes, more sweet treats, stuffed animals, monetary gifts . The gift of time – visits, phone calls, text messages, emails, homemade meals, plowing snow to name a few.

Reading the cards brought hope to me and feeling of gratitude that people were thinking about us and sympathetic to our grief. The flowers and the plants brighten the house. The fruit baskets, brownies, chocolate, cookies, cupcakes and other sweet treat became a balanced diet for us – one note stated “lets sugar up the kids” it worked, they ran around the house filled with energy. The homemade meals warmed my heart and provided much needed nutritious calories.

For those that attended the funeral, thank you for making the trip. Many traveled hundreds of miles, others thousands of miles, left your young children at home, found tickets at the last minute and in many cases paid exorbitantly. We were surrounded by your love and this made the day easier.

Thank you to everyone that is reading the blog, this is my therapy. It is my outlet, it allows me to feel connected with David.
