Matt, loved reading about you and the kids. Praying that you find just the right home in Long Beach and praying for the surgery. You have done such a great job, with God's help and others around you to keep your family moving forward.

Really appreciate you Matt. Your words are encouragement for life’s hurdles. I can’t believe your kids are as grown as they are and to hear they are carrying on with new adventures is a blessing. I know Laurel is a fan of watching them grow from her new vantage point. We love you and send our prayers for you including the rental and surgery situation.

Great to read your family update. Amazing how these kids continue to grow up. My own grandkids as well. I just have been watching memories that keep popping up on my phone from our China trip. Will always be such a special time in my life. And loved getting to know your sweet family as well as the others. May God continue to lead and guide you. ❤️🙏🏼

As we gear up for the new school year, I still miss Laurel and her quirky jokes and wry sense of humor. Blessings to your family as you prepare to relocate locally. ( I have faith!) 💕
