Piece By Piece
The past couple of days have
been unbelievable. Our emails, phones, and Facebook pages have been flooded
with messages, calls, and words of encouragement. Never in our wildest dreams
did we think our support system would run as deep as it has. We are blessed
beyond belief and our hearts are full. Thank you all for taking the time to
read our story, wish us well, and provide us with words of encouragement. You will never know how much this has meant to
us.
Along with encouraging words
came incredible donations. Over the past couple of days, Ryan and I have been
speechless about the donations that have poured in. Your generosity has brought me to tears over the past three days and I
can’t tell you how many times I have heard the phrase “this is unbelievable”
come out of Ryan’s mouth. To his credit, it’s the most appropriate phrase I
can come up with as well. We’ve received donations from family, friends, people
we haven’t talked to in years, people we hardly know, and people across the
United States that we don’t know at all! WHAT!?!? People’s hearts and acts of
kindness extend far beyond what I’m able to comprehend and we cannot build the
puzzle as fast as the donations are coming in. It’s amazing!
WE WANT ALL OF YOU TO KNOW HOW
GRATEFUL WE ARE. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS.
(please see our previous 3/30/14 blog post if you want to become a "piece of the puzzle")
(I SPY...some AMAZING people!!! The above people/families filled the section that reads LOVE NEVER FAILS)
(Uncle Mike, Auntie Shelly, & Cousins Ryan and Katelyn blew us away with their donation. Their "pieces" fill the "1 Corinthians" section and the entire right edge of the puzzle)
(Big Brother, Jacob, is having so much fun building the puzzle. As he was adding pieces tonight, he said, "we're one piece closer to bringing our baby home"...so true buddy...)
(Thank you Proctor, Gauntz, Thorn, and Myers Families...we snuck in your pieces before we finished building for the night.)
