Hello Friends!  It's been quite a ride since I last communicated!  Many of you have reached out to Mike to check on Ariella and see how she is doing.  If you haven't heard back from Mike about her, it's because a Judge decided it was in Ariella's best interest to come live permanently with me and my husband and family.  She went from being an only child to having 5 brothers and sisters, 5 cats and a dog!  (One of the cats is Cleo, Ariella's cat she brought with her...)  I have included some photos so you can see how well she is doing!  

I have a favor to ask you!  Ariella's 12th birthday is April 28.  This will be her first birthday without Cheryl.  I promise to try to spoil her as Cheryl would but I am asking for your help to do this...It would mean the world to us if you would send her a card.  So many of Cheryl's friends continue to ask how they can help and reminding Ariella of Cheryl's love on her birthday through a simple card would be amazing!

I also know that the news of Ariella living with us now might be a shock to some of you.  If you want to share your concerns, thoughts or discuss anything with me, I invite you to reach out to me and I will be an open book.  We didn't see this coming but I know that God had his hand in this and put Cheryl and me in each others lives for this reason.  And I hope you see by the pictures, she is doing great!

Please think about sending Ariella a birthday card.  Reach out anytime.
