I think it was last Wednesday that Zoey's mom and I grabbed a drink from Starbucks and sat in the park behind the hospital for a bit. One of the things that came up was that I've realized that despite being so thankful for so many things and knowing how much I should express that and not take things for granted, I still get caught up in life and let things that should be done or said pass me by. There are times that I should stop what I'm doing and play on the floor with Clayton, but I don't because there is "so much to do" or "I'm tired and just want to sit and do nothing". I hate that I do that. There are also so many people who George and I either don't get the chance to thank or don't thank as often as we should or something. It is just so easy to get caught up in the logistics of everything. That said...
To all of those who have expressed such an outpouring of love and support,
George and I (still) continue to be humbled and amazed by the support system in which we have found ourselves. The kindness of friends and strangers has been completely overwhelming these past few months. So, whether you're a friend or a stranger, we hope this message reaches everyone.
We are so lucky, so blessed, and so fortunate to have the most amazing people loving and supporting us. We love to read everyone's messages and even though we may not always respond, at the end of every day, George and I are able to find comfort in those messages. Each act of kindness, whether for helping put together a fundraiser or looking after our cat or cooking dinner or mowing our lawn or trying to clean our house; nothing has gone unnoticed and nothing is without our deepest appreciation. I have not had the opportunity to write everyone individually and wouldn't even know everyone to write, but we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Everyone's prayers, encouragement, and support give us the daily strength and courage to fight this fight.
To a rather large and amazing family at the City of Fairhope: We love y'all. All of y'all, from each and every department. We have not had the pleasure of meeting many of you, but George and I can say and mean from the bottom of our hearts that our lives are better with y'all in it.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us and prayed for Clayton these past few months. We want all of you to know that Clayton was officially declared NED today!!!
We still have some difficult treatment ahead, but what lies ahead will be very different then what we have just left behind. We are so excited to being moving forward.
