Okay folks, this post\u2019s choppy.  It\u2019s like a list. It\u2019s bits and pieces. It\u2019s real-life gratitude and a presentation of beautiful humanity.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When I first sat down to finally get to writing out my list of thanks, I was floored.  It quickly became apparent that taking tally wasn\u2019t going to be a simple task.  Look at this list!!! It\u2019s astounding the community that has surrounded us.  We are humbled, blessed and pour out a prayer of blessing on each and every one of you.  To each of you, and those I have undoubtly forgotten to write here: your words of encouragement, your gifts, your visits, your helping hands, your meals provided, your prayers, these mean so very much to the health of myself and our family.  Simply saying \u201cthank you\u201d feels much too inadequate; but I do not want my appreciation to be unheard.  So, thank you, each and everyone, thank you!  (Note: I almost didn\u2019t want to publish this list as I know it incomplete; so please understand my unwritten thanks to those not on this list who have helped us)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Stefanie (Our nanny)<\/u>.  I am speechless.  You mean so much to our family.  And your presence in our home is refreshing in so many ways.  You are a testimony of God\u2019s provision to us.<\/div>\n

I am blown away with gratitude by their generosity.  Firstly to all the GPs<\/u>  – thank you for hiring Elevated Meals for our family —  WOW!  I\u2019m particularly so grateful for Dr. Ross for taking concern of ALL aspects of my health. Then there\u2019s Pippa, oh Pippa<\/u>! And the meals from Pippa, Chris and Michelle! .  But there\u2019s more —  this whole office is simply the best, MOAs you make a HUGE difference in a person\u2019s medical experience.  You have always made mine lovely and now when cancer hit its just that much more apparent! Thank you Crossroads MOAs!!!.<\/div>\n
