Charity Faileth Not....

This weekend we got to celebrate our TWO little muffins with so many of our wonderful friends here in Denver. 

 

And even though EVERYONE who has been on this journey with us wasn't able to be there last night, we have felt the love and support from near and far. 

We are so grateful for the support we have had over the past (almost) 8 years.  

These friends are the people who have:

sat by my side after a miscarriage (even at midnight in a hospital)

take Penny in the middle of the night when I had to go to hospital

brought in meals

gone to DR appts when husband is out of town

administered shots

left flowers on my porch

remembered my angel babies' due dates

pressed on my femoral arteries

aided in priesthood blessings

mailed me IVF drugs to help save $$

written me countless cards of support and encouragement

been my workout buddies

subbed my classes so I could go to an appointment

walked Penny/taken her to play when I was on bedrest

let me hold their babies

understood when I didn't want to hold their babies

called and checked in

emailed conference talks to inspire and calm me

sent texts to help me remember it's okay to "stand still"

let me plan their baby showers

remind me it's okay if I don't want to plan or attend a baby shower

commented on my blog

reached out with your own story and let me support you

eaten countless balls of cookie dough

mail me cookie dough

said lots of prayers (for us to have "alive babies")

put our names on the temple rolls (all over the world)

fasted for us (even their kids fasted)

offered to carry a baby (or babies) for us

 listened when I cried

wiped my tears away

made me laugh

pushed me to work harder in the gym

reminded me that HE has a plan for us

reminded me that I did deserve this blessing(s)

There are countless acts of service that YOU ALL have performed for Jason and I over the years.

You have shown us SO MUCH LOVE.

I wish I could list EACH and EVERY act of love, sacrifice and service that has been performed for us on this journey.

The list would be long. Much longer than I could ever write. 

But NO act has ever gone unnoticed.

Each and every act has helped piece my heart back together, slowly and surely.

They have been the glue that has held me (us) together. 

And without EACH ONE OF YOU - this would not be nearly the celebration that it is now.

So THANK YOU.

We can't wait to raise these babies with you.
