Parents.....what would we do with out them? Well our family would be completely lost. Our parents have been unbelievable! Not only have they supported Brad and our family since the very beginning of this whole process, but they have also been there every step of the way.....eager to take the next step with us.
Both of our parents have filled so many holes emotionally and physically that it is hard to come up with the words of appreciation for everything they have done. Just the other day, Kitty and Bruce were looking in a basement for items that we have misplaced and cannot find. It was a phone conversation about what the box might be marked like and where it might be located in the basement. That same conversation turned into something like this......."and can you go by Smith and Julie's house to get my winter coat I left? If you can bring that up at Thanksgiving that would be wonderful". My mom and dad have renewed a car tag for us that we did not even think about. They have also gone and gotten a replacement birth certificate for me and sent it up (that is one of the items that has been misplaced). Mom has sent up Tony's Creole seasoning and Old El Paso taco seasoning that I have yet to find in the city. These examples do not mention the Barbies that were mailed for Addison and the army men for Parker. But what about the Halloween decorations we received when they learned that we had none? Did I mention the phone calls and the Skype calls that have happened? And to top everything off, both of us have brothers along with their families and aunts and uncles and chosen family and friends who are encouraging us along the way also.
Our family and friends are our cheer leading squad. You all are there for us to lean on when we are down and out. You worry about us. You root for for us. You pray for us. But most of all, you love us even when we may not be the most lovable person. The unconditional love you extend to us is truly awesome! Thanks be to God not only for our parents but also for our family and friends. We miss you all!!
