Overwhelmed

So we received a surprise package today...We continue to be overwhelmed by the love and compassion shown to our little family. Upon opening the surprise package we discovered that Luke's cousin, Rana, had asked a close friend of hers for advise. She asked her what had helped when her friend had lost her son to stillbirth. This led to her friend mailing us, complete strangers, a care package. Inside we found a special book, a card, a letter and 4 handmade quilts. 1 for Luke and I, 1 for Kayleb, 1 for Thayne and 1 for Tripp. In her letter she shared some of her experience and that this book really comforts her. She said that she had received a quilt from a family that lost their 4 year old little girl when she drown. This family makes little quits for other families that lose a baby/child. Each quilt is finished off with a little patch that has a picture of their little girl and under it says, " With Love, Friends of Carly". The blankets sent with the hope of lending that extra bit of compassion and comfort in the days ahead. We are so thankful for all the love shown by Family, Friends and Brand New Friends. Thanks Stacie of Arizona!

I think that care package was wonderful. Too bad that Echael and Doug couldn't get something like that. They have been married 10 years almost.

That was such a sweet thing to do. Summer I bet that touched you and your family's hearts dearly. Who would have thought of such a neat thing like that could touch so many hearts.
