Thank You Isn't Enough

People have been extraordinarily kind to our family in the last few weeks since my surgery. There hasn't been a day that I haven't received cards in the mail, phone calls, and emails with encouraging words. Many have sent money, gift cards, or gifts for Camden and Rory.

But yesterday topped it all. We received an enormous box from a group of my fellow adoptive parents who read my blog and have been friends through our journeys to adopt Camden and Rory. We have shared tears and triumphs through our adoption forum as well as our own personal blogs. Out of the 58 families who participated in this gift, I've only met two of them in person, but every single one of them has felt like a friend over the years. We are just overwhelmed with their generosity. There were gift cards for me, Willow Tree Angels, hair bows for Rory, bath stuff, books, a prayer shawl, and many, many other goodies, as well as a large check. The kids are just over the moon with excitement over their stickers, books, Wii game, Fancy Nancy and Star Wars items. Really, I just don't have enough words to say thank you, but there's nothing else I can say except thank you to Melissa, Melody, Claire, Jill, Kimberly, Allison, Christine B., Kelly, Tara, Julie P., Chelle, Jolie, Carrie, Heather, Tracy, Elizabeth, Christine L., Carla, Rebeca W., Christa, Erin, Laura, Adriana, Jill B., Cheryl, Teresa, Michelle, Laurie, Stephanie C., Rebekah, Amy, Heidi, Beth, Denise, Michelle B., Mandy, Jessica, Gloria, Kathy, Jean, Steph, Katie, Jennifer, Joy, Janel, Miranda, Jodi, Stacy, Amy D., Lisa W., Gina, Jennifer, Julie R., Kimberly, Lisa F., Felicity, Lee, and Kristin.

And a special thank you to Melissa who did such a great job shopping and then mailing this enormous box to us!

And this just cracked me up. Camden lined up all his stuff so he could look at it better. :)
