Ok.....I am simply overwhelmed by all of the kind thoughts, wishes, prayers, and support we have received. Nathan and I both are blown away. Without getting too sappy on you all....yesterday, I was so encouraged by the donations, the well wishes, the thoughtfulness that has been pouring in for these two amazing boys. When I first sent out the email, I had no idea the response it would generate. And I just have to thank you all a million times for being touched by these two little boys, that very few of you even know. We have received, gift cards, diapers, Halloween costumes, snacks, clothes, shoes.....just to name a few.....and I am just overcome with gratitude. It is fueling me and energizing me to do the very best I can for these little guys. I have to remind you all that what we are doing is not so special. Had any of you known these boys, and had them appear on your doorstep, you would have been compelled to do the same as us. It is no huge burden or sacrifice. We are lovingly and willingly opening our home to them because they are in need, and there was just no hesitation to offer a piece of our "peace" to them. Most of you know I work with children, and I have never even considered myself to be that great with them...but, I keep finding all of these "exceptions" and falling in love with all of these little faces, hearts, and souls....and so I sincerely thank each and everyone of you for helping me and Nathan give to these children in ways, we never could have on our own. In today's world, with all the negative news we hear.....I feel fortunate knowing so many wonderful, giving people! I will keep you all updated on the boys.....so far, they are missing their Daddy (right now he comes to visit them off and on when he is able)....and they are pretty confused about their Mother (who is not in the picture at all), but they feel safe and I am giving them tons of hugs and kisses! And Nathan, my sweet wonderful husband.....is an amazing father figure for them. He can comfort and reach them when I can't and he is just so loving and caring.....I am just blessed!
