"Thank you and I Love you Dearly"

Dearest Courageous Brave Heart Women,

I love you. I really want you to know how much all of your prayers and thoughts have helped me. I am so grateful to be in this community of such spectacular compassionate loving giving women. The response I recieved to my call for prayer was nothing short of amazing, yet not surprising given who you are. You have held me up....given me strength. I have come to my blog to re-read what you have written.....thank you.....from my brave heart to yours!

We are all here, my whole wonderful wacky family. We have basically taken over the ICU family waiting room. My dad knows he is loved. Everyone is telling him the "ruckus" we are raising. The Hadrabas moved to take our Dad home. We're making people laugh. My Dad has had some rough days, some different problems....day before yesterday was really scary. It is really hard to see my Dad in so much pain and suffering.....but he keeps rising above it. We are all part of a miracle. We have been given more time.....a blessing. They may move him tomorrow or the next day to the cardiac floor if he continues to improve....which would be a step toward going home.

We have been given a gift....maybe one of the best gifts in the world...time.....time to say I love you.....time to be together. As a family, we have laughed and we have cried sooooo much in this past week...talking, remembering....enjoying each other....its gonna sound weird but as sad and scared as we have been....we have had a blast too. We have been crying so much we were holding each other up one minute and cracking up so much we couldn't breathe the next. I am so grateful for this time together.

Thank you for all the love you have shown me. Keep us in your prayers....they are appreciated and they are working. They keep telling us how lucky we are....how lucky he is.

I look forward to seeing you at Rise!!!

I love you dearly!

Your sister,
