This has been an amazing journey. Two and half months ago life was clicking along at its normal hectic pace and all of sudden everything changed. Going to work, carting kids from place to place, walking around the block and remembering the day before yesterday (things we take for granted) were either postponed, difficult or potentially gone forever. Things we often complain about became a luxury we hoped to one day be able to do again. We took life for granted and life apparently didn't appreciate it. Well, never again. The miracle that has happened has awoken us to not only appreciate life itself but those who affect our lives on a daily basis and those who have affected our lives in the past and will again in the future. Our thanks go out to all of those who have given their heartfelt thoughts and prayers on Jill's behalf and who have given aid by providing meals and driving kids from place to place. And how can we ever forget or thank enough those who were at the field and the hospital, who cared enough to step up to plate when everything was at risk, to keep Jill with us until she could fight her way through this? Without everyone, none of this could have ever happened.
In that regard, it's time to appreciate the gift that we have been given, life, love and friendship. It is with each other as friends and family that we are all stronger and able to overcome life's challenges. Jill and I are dearly indebted to all of you who have read this blog and helped make this miracle of life continue. With that, we'd like to invite all of you to join together with us to celebrate Jill's recovery, our friendship, as well as to appreciate all the blessings we've all been given. Please consider stopping by on Saturday, August 7th between 5pm and 9pm at our house for some food and drinks. It will be an open house format so come for the entire time or stop by as it is convenient. All family members are invited (adults and kids). Below is the evite with our address. If you can come, please email us at shisey@yahoo.com to RSVP with the number of adults and kids that are coming so we'll have enough food and drinks everyone. We hope to see all of you on August 7th. Steve
