A note on friends and family....

“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.” 
― Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey

When I think of the overwhelming support I have gotten from family and friends, the toxic levels of progesterone in my body begin to bring big tears to my eyes! From fragrant flowers, to home cooked meals, to activities to pass the time, to visitors and phone calls - the list goes on and on....

 I am so thankful to have the sweetest, most supportive group of friends and family a girl can ask for. This is the hardest test of my life and I couldn't make it through without everyone near and far. 

 I can't begin to thank everyone enough and I don't know how I'll ever repay each of them. I will find a way, though. :)

Sweet Kristin and her delicious pot pie :)
