Beyond Blessed

WOW. The outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming to both Eddie and I. This whole journey so far has been a rollercoaster of emotions. At least once a day one of us is in tears, either from frustration, exhaustion, anxiety or some other reason we can't identify. Also at least once a day (most likely 5 or 6 times), we are reminded of how truly blessed we are.

A comment on our blog or Facebook pages.
A phone call or text message "just checking in."
A greeting card.
A meal when we're both too tired to cook.
A friend spending the weekend to dog-sit our fur-baby.
A handful of neighbors who have committed to clearing our driveway.
A care package from across the country.
A Friday pick-me-up in the form of an iced coffee or Dr. Pepper.
A GoFundMe page set up by a childhood friend.
And a million other little things.

We truly have the BEST support network in the world. Never will we be able to thank everyone enough for their support. I know that it is because of you all that Eddie and I can remain strong and steadfast in our faith that everything will be OK. And it didn't just start when we first shared the news of Eddie's diagnosis. Your support has been present in our lives throughout many seasons. We know this current season of life requires us to be humble and rest on the support network we have woven together like a big comfy hammock. In time, we will be able to step down and become part of that hammock for someone else. But for now, we rest in your capable and loving hands, knowing that it is only a short time in our lives, excited for the future we have ahead of us.
