Hello My Friends! Lori has been so kind in letting me know that so many of you have asked about me and sending your love and prayers at the last two Pondering Pines Events. Thank you so much for all the love and support. It has really helped me through the tough days.
As a family, we're having to make some very difficult decisions I never thought we'd have to make. Hell, we never expected our mom to get a rare cancer and decline so quickly only a month after being diagnosed. We're still reeling from it all and we're trying to make sense of it all while holding ourselves up to keep pushing forward. It's been heartbreaking to watch our Dad experience this and watch over him as his health is fragile too. You all have helped me in ways you can never imagine. You made me feel like I mattered, felt loved, and supported. It's something I've never ever experienced in a community before. I'm so blessed in so many ways.
Lori, my friend, you have been at my side throughout this whole ordeal while helping me keep my wits about me and keeping the shows going. You deserve so many blessings in life for the way you have shown up during this difficult time in my family. Your love, friendship, and support never waivered even when I couldn't do a thing because I was too broken. Managing the events in its entirety, checking on me to make sure I'm eating and doing self care. I could never experience this journey without you! I love you my friend.
To All My Close Friends, you too have shown me so much love and support in so many ways. I couldn't do this without you either. Thank you so very much for all that you have done to be there for me. It truly has made a difference. Thank you for being there for Lori at the events! You all are so amazing!
Lastly, I want to thank my husband, kids, and my In-laws for the love and support as well. You all are my heart and soul. I can't make it through this without you. I can't Thank you enough for the way you have shown up for me and for Lori during the events. I love you all beyond measure. I'm incredibly blessed and proud that you are my family. I miss you all so much! I hope to be home soon! ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
