Feeling So Blessed

WOW! Just wow!  Rachel and I are so overwhelmed with the love and support we have received.  It was only 9 days ago we announced we were adopting and in that time hundreds of you have shared your support with likes and comments.  We can feel the prayers and see the financial support coming in.  You all have no idea how your support lifts our spirits and encourages us. In this day and age of social media and blogging, and all other electronic communication we sometimes forget that on the other end of that profile picture is a friend.  A friend from childhood or a previous chapter in your life or the current one.  You never stopped being friends, but just because of distance or time you don't keep in touch or see each other in the hall or the locker room.  Tonight our air conditioner went out.  We were feeling down and overwhelmed with the cost of just so many things.  I called my parents to vent and catch up.  While on the phone my mom informed me of a donation we just received.  I knew the name right away and was filled with shock and a feeling of calm and support.  I had not seen this friend in roughly 15 years.  What an overwhelming feeling knowing people you haven't even seen this century are pulling for us as we start a family.  THANK YOU! THANK ALL OF YOU!!! No matter what you are doing to support us...donation, praying, or sharing our story...we feel it and it makes a difference.  Please keep supporting us, and encouraging us.  It means so much because the battle of infertility is a battle that wears you down and leaves you feeling empty at times.  Thank you all again so much!
