I have the best friends in the whole wide world..

I cannot thank my friends enough for the special gift we received last night. These are women that I have known for a few years, and we have met on the internet. Did you ever imagine that you could say that some of your very best friends you met online? I didn't think I would ever say that..but as you get to know people, and share things with them..share stories about your life, including your kids, your husband, your job, just everything, you realize that you are creating special bonds with these wonderful people..these are people that you will soon realize make your day everyday, just by seeing a message from them.

We are faced with so many unknowns in the next couple of weeks. I am going to have surgery to have a baby girl that needs surgery, and I have so many fears about that.
I worry how I will do, will I come out okay? Will she be okay like they say she will? Will I get to hold her to tell her how much I love her, and how much she is loved by so many people already? I don't know what will happen, and I can only pray and hope that things are as they say they are, and that the best doctors will be caring for us so that she gets the care she needs, as do I so that I can recover very quickly and spend my time with her.

By getting this beautiful gift we received last night, we will be able to get through things much easier. There will be so much less stress on what what goals we need to accomplish as a family to be up in Portland, and to not have to juggle so much to make things work. This will be the MOST tremendous help we will receive for the time we are up there. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for caring so much about us. Thank you for being the most selfless people I know.
Thank you for just reading about our journey and struggle, and doing something so special indeed.

Most importantly, thank you so much for just being my friends. I cry when I think about the love that you all have for us..and you all just know me through text. This means more to me than each and one of you will ever really know. Just knowing you are here for support was enormous..But by actually supporting us, it means more than any words that I could ever, ever say.

You girls are such special gifts in my life, and I thank God that we came to know eachother through all of the good, and the bad, and the ugly.

I will never know how I can repay you..but I want to.

Thank you Bonnie, Tamala, Kristi, Kyle, Hope, Linny, Jeanna! You are all just angels to me!
