You all have left me weeping so many times, with so many blessings, you've lit my way for these long months, and I've never felt anything close to what I've felt with you all in the rest of my life lived.

I guess it reminds me that we're all worthy of miracles in our lives, but asking sure helps.

You all did the one thing that I myself didn't really have control over, you helped keep my worst fears in the background until they could be conquered. I can't express how meaningful and ultimately necessary that was.
Thank you thank you, thank you.
