"HER CHILDREN ARISE AND CALL HER BLESSED; HER HUSBAND ALSO, AND HE PRAISES HER; MANY WOMEN DO NOBLE THINGS, BUT YOU SURPASS THEM ALL. CHARM IS DECEPTIVE AND BEAUTY IS FLEETING; BUT A WOMAN WHO FEARS THE LORD IS TO BE PRAISED. GIVE HER THE REWARD SHE HAS EARNED, AND LET HER WORKS BRING HER PRAISE." PROVERBS 31:28-31

Hey Holly,
Wow! That is the most awesome "Thanks" I have ever heard. As I was reading that it was fun to go through my mind all of the fun times that we had and all the other times that weren't so fun and now when I look back I really wonder how we got through some of the things in our lives. One thing for certain is that you are an amazing, wonderful and special person to me and the really cool thing is...............I would really love you even if you werent my kid! I am so proud of you and how you are taking care of Alexis. No matter what happens with her, her life will be better because of all you have done. The other day I was looking through your blog (I was at work) and I just broke down and cried seeing all the photos of all of my kids, seeing that Tyler was leaving, seeing all of the changes that have happened over the past three years. Wondering how it would be if Grandma and Grandpa were still here to share in all of this. I am so proud of each one of you. We are still a family in one piece when at times it seemed all the pieces were shattering. I love you very much!
MOM
