Thank You

I know that not everyone will see what I have written here, but I wanted to express my heart in hopes that some will see and hear.

I desperately wish that I did not have to go through this terrible pain of losing my son and I pray that others are spared such pain. I can honestly say, however, that I have experienced God's love, the love of family, friends, and even strangers in such an intimate and comforting way in the past few weeks.

I have had so much support from so many people through prayers; those who brought food, sent cards, made phone calls, sent emails, made visits, brought or sent gifts, donations to the Gideons and Heifer International, and so many other expressions of love and support Each one has meant so much to me. There are tender hearts still checking on me to see how I am doing. There are people sharing their own losses and giving me hope that I too can survive. There are friends from high school getting in touch. There are friends from Alaska that I have not heard from in years. I have made a sweet new friend........the mother of Josh's friend, Sam.

I just want to say thank you for the bottom of my heart to all of you. I am blessed.

I hurt. Every single day, I hurt. Some days are worse than others, but God is good and He will see me through.

I thank God for each of you and for how you have blessed our lives during this time.

May you find Blessings and Peace in the arms of the Father.

All my love,

Tammy
