Grateful each day and on this Day of Thanksgiving
Stanley is doing better each day. He feels stronger more like himself. In no small part due to all of you, our extended family of friends. We wish you a day with moments of reflection and kindness.
November 9th, was very possibly the very best day of my life thus far...
A huge room, I do mean huge filled comfortably with people. People that gave up their day, some of them their only day to rest a bit, came in and volunteered, worked, worked and worked, well sweat on some of their foreheads worked, in tandem without ego, met one another with their own valued skill set and things moved forward throughout the day, flawlessly.
No measure on the amount of humility and love filled this place.
Stanley was flabbergasted when the School of Rock went into his song, 'Stumpy Meets The Firecracker in Stencil Forest.' This is no easy undertaking; this piece of music. Pure joy!
The team of Kevin Feeley and Near Fest, John Harding Fran Miller were over the top fantastic. With as many acts we had moving on and off stage, the camaraderie they worked with was nothing short of brilliant behind the scenes.
By all accounts the catering team was friendly and the food was yummy with plenty of choices, that was a relief knowing everyone was re-filling or would if they were hungrier.
We will be able to make a nice dent toward the medical costs and don't feel as much like we are 'underneath' them. Much more comforting that one feels they can cope with them.
Stanley and I, know approximate numbers.
We will learn more soon about final numbers.
We all sort of collapsed in exhaustion after the event. The foundation had a board meeting last week, to discuss numbers and many other details.
These people have been so generous with their time.
Thank you, Thank you Thank you
To each and every one of you who take the time to correspond with us here.
We love you,
LeeAnne
