In addition to flying from Atlanta to Denver to help with the kids, Charley’s aunt SuSu has been busy pounding the pavements of Conyers, GA. to raise money for Tuesday’s medical expenses.
She and Uncle Jim are proving to be quite the fundraisers. They ask, and the kind people of Georgia dig deep to help us. Gift certificates to restaurants, hair cut-a-thons in Tuesday’s honor and donations, donations, donations. You southerners do “giving” a good name. We thank you all.
An extra big Thank You to SuSu and Jim. We love you.
And then what should come in the mail but a care package from Florida, filed with gift cards and donations and hand made pictures and cards and books and LOVE. Now we see why we have not been able to get Dana and Taylor to move
back to Colorado. You are amazing folks. Thanks you for your continued prayers and support. Inside was also a donation from Dana’s “Granny” and her church and friends. More people that have never met us but are touched by Tuesday’s fight. Amazing.
These last woman, once upon a time, fell in to the stranger category. A group of women that I met online while looking for support and advise on a twin pregnancy, have become a group of dear friends. These friends and their families have sent us a care package every week since Tuesday’s diagnosis, and yet, most of these women I’ve never even “met”. The kids SO look forward to the packages. We’ve always made an effort to show them the importance of caring for other people so it’s fun for them to see the flip side. To see how cared for we have been and continue to
be. While visiting for the Benefit dinner,
Dawn,
Jane and
Shannon brought with them a quilt that they all made for Tuesday. It is beautiful. Every square has a picture of one of the twins from our group. All of the kids are represented. These
are children that I’ve watched grow from before birth and children that I know
will be life long friends with Tuesday and Piper. You can feel the love that went in to it. I love it. I love them. An extra big shout out to Heather and her mom. What a perfectly beautiful job you did.
You keep us going. Your prayers, your food, your love, energy, kindness, phone calls, emails, comments, packages, all of it. All of it.
We are home from the hospital. Tuesday is maxed out. We are all pretty pooped. Here’s to a lovely Colorado fall weekend.
