Gratitude

We have been touched by so many amazing people through Addie'e journey.  I struggle with not being able to truly show how appreciative and thankful I am for everything that everyone has done for us.  I am so touched each day following a post, when I get to read everyone's encouraging comments.  I feel so blessed by everyone who has been supporting our family through this.  I pray you all know how incredibly gracious I am for all of you!!

These are only a few of the amazing things that people have done for us recently... I wish I could have documented each and every thing.  I believe it would have been impossible because of the amount of support we have received, I would have had to hire it out :)  That speaks volumes to TEAM ADDIE!!  It is overwhelming the love and support Addie continues to get... THANK you Jesus for all of these incredible people you have surrounded us with!!  Without all of you, this journey would be much darker and lonelier.

 Our concrete angel... LOVE.

 CF Student Senate bake sale for Addie... Thank you Megan and CF Senate, we are so thankful and  touched by the time you took to put this together.  How incredibly thoughtful!!  Thanks to all who worked and supported the bake sale as well.  

A run for ADDIE...  DesMoines half and full marathon.


I have to give some major love to this man right now... Carter Moore you are truly amazing and you have been so incredibe through all of this.  We feel so blessed to have you in our lives.  THANK YOU to you, your sweet family and your great TEAM for everything you have done for us.  

 Emma... this sweet girl, rather than have her friends bring her presents for her birthday she had them bring gifts for Addie.  This was so touching, INCREDIBLE.  Emma you have a heart of gold and I hope you know how touched we all feel by your giving spirit.  Grace and Addie LOVED the gifts that your friends bought.  Thank you so much sweet girls.  That binder of pictures melted my heart, something that I will keep forever.  I will tell Addie for years to come how a sweet girl gave her all of her birthday presents and her friends took the time to draw her beautiful pictures with words of encouragement.  




A SnowWhite dress and hat, handmade by two sisters who heard our story on facebook.  BEAUTIFUL. Thank you ladies, my girls will enjoy these for years to come!

Is it crazy to say that you LOVE people you haven't even met?!  Well that is the feeling I have when I receive these things and read your comments.  Thank you for the love you have given my family.  

Go Team Addie

Be devoted to one another in love.  Honor one another above yourselves.
