There is something to be said about family. We have always known we were lucky. We have a really wonderful extended family. But, what really makes this even more apparent, is when you watch those who love your children the most hurt for them. Even more amazingly, those who hurt the most for our sick Gracie, put on brave faces all week to curb her fears. They made her giggle when they probably felt like screaming and crying and running away from it. They picked up the pieces where JR and I couldn't. They made sure our household was spotless-germ free, and ready for her homecoming. They made this whole ordeal bearable. We are blessed. Unbelievably blessed. Thank you so much for getting us through the hardest part of it...the beginning of this long, unsure road. Monday, August 18, 2008

What an awesome support system, I'm not surprised though, knowing you and JR, that you come from awesome families!!
What a blessing! I am so glad that they were able to be here and pick up the pieces so you can focus on Grace.
Kim, I am so sad to hear about G. I cannot begin to imagine the emotions you and JR have been through. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I love you.
ugi's,
we love you!! fight on gracie!!! The boys are waging an epic battle here to rid gracie's body of "bad warriors"--think "Clone Wars" meets A.L.L. The positive Jedi love is bound to help!!
Lots of love and kisses
keri, jim, isaac and oskar
Your Lucky to have Aunt Shelly and Glenn they are very good people and always willing to give anything to their family! It was probably a huge relief to have them come take care of everything so you could focus on Grace.
