Goodnight from Longview

I spoke with Trish on the phone a few times today and it was great to hear her voice having a little extra in it today. I can only imagine how difficult is it for her to be there alone. I know how hard it is for Blake, Allie and I to be here alone without Trish and Ash. Yet, here I have Blake and Allie, I have our home, our car, our bed, our friends, our church and each day I get up and go to work where I have my practice family and all of my daily surroundings. Blake and Allie have their beds to sleep in each night and they have the stability of a wonderful school that is full of friends and teachers that remain unchanged. When I think of Trish there I know that she does not have all of those comforts of familiar things, people and activities. But Trish does have three things there, she has a little pickle to fight for, she has a guestbook and comments to read and she has a God who takes care of her each and every day. I am so grateful for Him and the promises He has made to us. I am so grateful for our faith that gives us hope. I am grateful for the grace He has given us and continues to give us. There are ups and downs, good days and bad ones, hard times and easy times, but what remains constant and unchanging is the grace God has given to us.

I sincerely thank each and every one of you who visits this website. You are so important to us. Reading your encouragement and prayers is the highlight of our day. Thank You.
