A Thank You Note

There’s no way to adequately describe the amount of love and support you’ve given to us over the past 6 days and the previous 5 years. When we asked for prayers, you did that. And so much more. Thank you for the calls, texts, cards, the fridge full of food, the house cleaning, the gifts, and all the other ways you showed support. We loved hearing the Haddie stories you had. We’d love to hear more if you have them.  We so appreciate you donating to the Haddie fund (which you can still do by sending a check to the Belpre Church of Christ marked Haddie in the memo)

We love our church family at Belpre and all the other churches that showed us love. That’s what the church is all about. It’s supposed to be a family.

We loved spending time with all of Haddie’s therapists, aids, teachers, and staff from Ewing preschool and Belpre Elementary along with the therapist at Marietta Memorial. We call you friends.

And most of all we thank God. We are grateful for the peace He’s given us during this time. We are so glad that Tuesday wasn’t the end. It was the beginning and one day we will see Haddie again. I’m so glad we serve a God who is good. He made a place called heaven. I’m grateful that through Jesus Kate and I can be there one day. But I’m also grateful that the rest of my life doesn’t have to be tragedy and sadness. Despite the pain of this and the challenges ahead, we have peace. That ONLY comes from Jesus. I pray for you today that you may know that peace. And if you don’t, we’d love to share why and how we have it. My next post will be about how to make sure you’ve got it.

Once again, thank you. God is good.
