See it all around you...

As Valentines day quickly approaches I wanted to send out my love to everyone, who visits here.

Our family has been overwhelmed by true kindness. Family, Friends, and Strangers have shared their love with our family in many ways. I've been privy to seeing the best of people in these last 6 months. It's like I've been given a special glasses that allow me to see kindness. I see raw emotions, I see caring, I see love.

The love that people have shared with us, has kept us moving forward, and has made us fight. When days are long, and tiring, we are able to stand tall and remember the crowd of people who stand behind us, the people that have our backs, who send their love, and prayers. Thanks for continuing to stand with us.

A man that is worth mentioning: Greg. He's a sentence of his own. He's my rock. There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't make me laugh. He's one heck of a dad, and a husband, it doesn't get better than him.

Connor: He completes us. Greg and I chose the name Connor because it meant "much wanted". Connor also means "strong willed". Both of which are completely accurate.

Do you remember Valentines when you were in first grade?
Connor was able to participate in Valentines party on Friday. Do you remember painstakingly signing cards for everyone in the class, rushing around to put your cards in the the appropriate "Valentines Mailbox", dumping out your bounty of greatness, admiring each card, who it's from, whether or not there was a special heart, special sugary sweet, or message on your card that made it extra special ? Then, taking your loot home and re-admiring each one again... and again ? It's truly magical to experience Valentines through the eyes of a 6 year old.

Tomorrow: share your love, your hugs, your laughs, your kind words and share stories about those you love. See love all around you.
