We have picked up quite the support group over the last month. You might suspect how much you are loved right now, but until something happens to rock your world, you never really know how much.
I really feel that the life lines we have in both our work families help keep us as normal as possible. Brian has been even more overwhelmed by the offers of help and support than I have. He's a cop; cops don't say much. They just act on instinct usually. So when the guys in his unit, his old partner, and other friends on the department started offering help, it meant the world to him.
We have already received delicious meals--at just the right times, I might add. On days when we are so tired already that we might have settled for cereal or even nothing at all.
We have been provided time out with friends where we are just regular people...like Before Cancer.
And no matter how crazy I feel, there is always someone at school to say, "Here, let me help you do that." What a miracle that is.
We love all of you. For your prayers, for making us laugh, for your hugs, for the meals, for the time to just be normal. What precious gifts you all are to us.
