I am grateful for the Hearts, BUT ... [View all]

... I am even more grateful for the fact of All of YOU being here.

We will never really know who we've touched, who we have inspired, who we have encouraged, whose spirits we have lifted at exactly the right time, in exactly the right way.

We will never know to a certainty how many emoticons reminded someone they are not alone, or how many K&Rs it takes to say "I am with you" as you join in to mourn the loss of a spouse, a best friend, a beloved pet.

We are family. We laugh together, we cry together. We celebrate our victories - and we often save each other from despair.

I thank you for the Hearts - but I thank you more for being who you are.
