Hi all,

Grandma Pat and I spent two hours combing through this CaringBridge site and reading each comment from the date of her stroke until now. She was incredibly moved by your support and prayers — we talked, laughed, cried, and celebrated. She shared many memories of you all over the years. She wants you to know how much you all mean to her and sends her love and gratitude. This truly amazing CaringBridge network has directly contributed to her healing. 
 
Today was an amazing day full of yoga, Christmas cookies, speech therapy, walking, visiting friends, cooking turkey, and running errands. Tomorrow I'm back to Colorado, Rachel leaves Friday for Minnesota, and our parents will be the next visitors after the holidays. Rachel and I are both incredibly grateful for this week with G&G, and we're continuously inspired by their love for each other, perseverance, faith, and good sense of humor.  

Be well, happy holidays, and more from Lori and Bill soon. 

Love to you and yours, 

Patty and Rachel Hodapp
