Hey all,
I don't know if anyone still checks this site, but I just wanted to let everyone know that we're doing o.k.
The kids have four more days of school left. Kendrick is busy with work, and I have been trying to stay pretty busy. We've had several out of town guest, and I've had many many lunch dates to keep me occupied. (Thanks to all my lunch dates I've managed to gain 8lbs in three weeks). I guess too many lunch dates.
I just want to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and words of encouragement. Words can not describe how much we appreciate everyone's love and support. Friends, family, and even people we don't know have poured out their love for us. I remember driving one morning to the hospital. It was like it was yesterday-- I remember saying, "Lord I just need to feel your love. I just don't feel loved by you right now." It was just one of those days. The Sunday after Caleb's service I remember laying on the bed thinking, "Wow -- I have never felt God's love as much as I do right now" I know that sounds weird since we had just had a funeral service for our 8th month old the day before, but it's true. It wasn't this magical feeling-- it was the love from His children-- It was all the people who showed up at Caleb's service, it was the people who brought over meals, the people who called, sent flowers, cards, emails, signed the caringbridge guestbook. It was the people at our church who organized the meal for after the service and visit Caleb every week he was in the hospital, it was people that we hardly knew that gave money for us to use toward bills, and most of all it was the people who knew us and did not know us that prayed for us when we were too weak to pray for ourselves. God's love was poured on us by all the people who loved on us through our journey with Caleb.
Thank you Lord for your children who loved on us. You are so Good!
To all my family at Levine's Children's Hospital-- I miss you!! Thanks for everything you did for Caleb. You were so good to him.
Love you all
