"A day is made more beautiful when touched with kindness."
To my many angels...
- Joel and Jeris: for sending the lovely floral arrangement during my recent surgery. Joel...I knew one day you would admit I was the "stronger" one! :) xo
- Karen: for your unbelievable support and for being a best friend during a trying time. Your thoughtfulness continues to amaze me and I thank you for everything you do for me, as well as my family.
- To My Chicago Mom's Group: for sending the most beautiful bouquet of flowers while I was recovering from surgery. They brightened my entire week.
- Candace and Melissa: thank you for the gorgeous flowers, as well as the "love" necklace. I certainly feel that I am surrounded by love every second of the day.
- Colleen: thank you for your visits, your touching emails, the delicious chocolate platters, and the comfy "love" pajamas!
- Aunt Dana: for sending me such heart-felt and touching cards, as well as the beautiful throw....it has been a blessing to have your love wrapped around me while I have been healing this past month.
- Ryan and Stephanie: for sending the recordable books...the boys absolutely LOVE them!
- Jen Ikens: for organizing a dream come true for me....a one-on-one dolphin encounter with the boys (something I had on my bucket list and had promised the boys we would do one day). Everything imaginable was thought about....from a private tour/session with just our little family of four, to being on the deck with the actual dolphin trainers, feeding the dolphins, learning training techniques and then actually having the boys participate, to having a professional photographer and videographer available to tape our entire session. I am beyond grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
- Dana: for the touching "wishnest"...thank you for sending me such special wishes.
- Jeris and Paula: for cutting your hair and donating it to "Locks of Love" in my honor.
- The Flagg Family: for sending a beautiful bouquet of flowers....it put a smile on my face and brightened my day.
- Jennifer, Shirley and Merla: for not only making my day, but for making my mom's day as well. I am so thankful for your recent visit....it was so nice to laugh and simply be in your company. I love you all.
- Shawn: thank you for driving all the way up from St. Louis to visit for the day/night. It felt like not a second had elapsed and we were right back at being college roommates all over again....something rare and special, where only true close friends can do that. Your laughter warmed my heart and your presence made my day! I love you.
- Jenny B.: for sending the delicious dessert with Jennifer, as well as the goodies for the boys. So extremely thoughtful of you...thank you.
- Dinah and Sheryl: my favorite oncology nurses....thank you Dinah for coming all the way over to the hospital to give me a humorous book during my last hospital stay (lord knows I needed a good laugh)....and to Sheryl for your hugs and your amazing ability to make me laugh during times when it is the last thing I think I can possible do. I am so blessed to have you in my life.
- Diane: to my childhood/life-long friend who came up to visit today....I so enjoyed getting out of the house for lunch and just catching up. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
- The "Meal Train" Families: from girlfriends to families in Zevy's classroom....we are extremely grateful for your weekly meal deliveries. Thank you for your unbelievable kindness.
- And to all of my friends and family who continue to keep me in your daily prayers. Your cards and emails are a bright spot in my day and I truly cherish them.
Peace, Love & Miracles
