Thank You

Thank you for the gift of your good thoughts, prayers, emails and the steady stream of your friendship that carries me with gentleness at this moment.

I'll write more once I have some sleep and understand more about my Father.

With my whole heart my family and I thank you.

A very Happy Birthday to you, Corey - although my heart hurts for you. I know it's hard to celebrate right now with your papa ill - but it is kind of a celebration of his life - that this day was special to your parents because of your birth. I am glad you were able to make the long flight to be with your family during this difficult time.

and His mercies new every morning!
Go under His mercies,
