This has been quite a week for me. About 2 weeks ago, I got a call from my friends Jeremy and Allyson. We've known each other for many years--we followed them from the northwest end of Calgary to the south when we moved to Evergreen 3 years ago. They wanted to know if I would come to Calgary for a week and visit. They bought my ticket and even gave me a car to drive while I was there. Thursday, March 27th was my Mom's birthday so I was able to completely surprise her when I showed up at her house that morning. I able to see all my family and friends. I had a wonderful time visiting with Allyson--even though she repeatedly beat me at SkipBo. We stayed up way too late almost every night, Jeremy made BBQ steak twice, we went hot tubbing and baked cakes and goodies all week!! I've been really blessed to have such great friends!!
When I came home, I was really tired. There way an envelope waiting for Bob and I with this card from my sister, Elizabeth:
Inside was an encouraging note that things will get better (this has been quite the year for us) and a travel itinerary for a trip to Jamaica for Bob and I this summer!! I have to say that I was completely shocked! We have had so many family and friends that have been so supportive during all the craziness we've been through and we are extremely blessed!! We are surrounded by people that love us unconditionally and I feel overwhelmed (and a little undeserving) by the many acts of love and kindness given to us.
Thank you so much--
