Last night I had dinner at home with the "fam" and Norm, the love of my life :) As we were ready to devour dessert, Jordyn arrived home from her afternoon visit with her dad. She was "so in" for some fudge crackle ice cream (available only at Superstore people). Our dear friend, aka "the icecream guru in Kelowna" Mr. Tom Pesl - has dangerously turned our clan on to this flavour. yummy!
Anyhow, Jordyn pranced in and brought her school agenda with her. She presented me with a card that "some mom" from the school given to her teacher to forward home. I opened the card and instantly teared. It was from a friend that I had gone to school with k -12. It had a beautiful message and wonderful sentiments.
I cried; the thought and sincere intent behind the card was paralyzing. Tears flowed as I thought of how many people have truly overwhelmed me with their love and support. I am amazed at the extent that this experience has touched others. Prayers, endless emails, phone calls, magazines, cards, gift baskets, spa treatments, flowers, lunches, coffees, hugs, talks . . . the list goes on.
To know and feel how much one is loved in this lifetime is a blessing. Life deals us challenges and ironically, at the same time, brings us such joy! With this constant love and support, I am graced with hope and strength. From the bottom of my heart
. . . thank you friends!
