A moment of Gratitude

Many of you may know about some of the more recent drama in my life. I hate drama and try to avoid it as much as possible. Some of you may know first hand about the drama. I need to thank each of you that have been involuntarily involved with the drama. I feel terrible that we have imposed on you. I appreciate the support and answers that I was looking for. I turned to some of you because I honestly had no idea what the catalyst behind the ensuing drama was. At this point I am still not 100% sure, but it is no longer important. Thank you to the few of you who have helped me put the puzzle pieces together. I am grateful for your support and willingness to help, and I am truly sorry that you all were caught in the middle.

Will and I have been extremely blessed in our lives to have a strong circle of support. Each of our families are compassionate and understanding, and all of our friends both near and far have been a huge blessing in our lives. I know that Will is the great husband and father that he is today because of the influence of his close friends that he grew up with, Todd, John, Chuck, Brandon, Jothan, Brad and several others. Will admits that he still thanks his Heavenly Father each night for the support of his good friends even though he hasn’t seen many of them for several years now since they all are scattered across the nation. I feel the same way about my close friends, the ones that I see daily and the ones I see less frequently. We love you.

I am also grateful to have been raised in a good home where I have been taught love and appreciation for family, friends and the Lord. My sister and sister in-laws have been dear friends and a great support to me and Will and our family. I am grateful for loving parents who reach out and support me and my family even in their own most vulnerable times. I admire my mom who continues to support my dad and her mother and still finds time to reach out and render charitable acts for me and many others. I am also grateful for in-laws on Wills side that we don’t see often but hear from frequently. We appreciate all of your love and the ability to turn sour lemons into sweet, sweet lemonade. A special blessing goes out to Will’s dad who has been trapped in a hospital bed for the last month. It’s sad, but we thought that it would be cool to have a 1 legged pirate for a father! Well, at least all of your socks will have a purpose to serve still. We love you and pray for your full recovery.

I need to apologize to you all again that have been involved. I know for a fact that it has caused unnecessary pain and aggravation. I appreciate your willingness to help and for your love and support. We hope that we can render the same strength and support to you when you need it most.

We love you. Thank you.
