My family has an incredible group of friends that come and walk with us each year in the March of Dimes walk. This year I was disappointed with myself because I had so many things going with the adoption, Noah's graduation, and work, that I wasn't truly able to put as much time into it as I normally do. This is one of the biggest things that I get to do for Magdalena, and I truly felt like I failed. It might not have been obvious to everyone, but I could tell. But this year was one of my favorite years because I sat back to think on the day I realized that everyone came to support us and they made it so clear. Yes, everyone agrees with the March of Dimes and the work they do, but they come to the walk to show us the greatest form of love. Those that wanted to come and couldn't sent a text. And this wasn't just for Noah and me, but friends of other members came for them too. To all of you I am extremely humbled today. Thank you for picking up the pieces and running with it this year, my sweet and amazing friends. I couldn't have done it without you.
Things that may seem like they are just a small act of kindness can truly remind a grieving mom of true hope. Can't thank you enough!
Baby - Thank you for being the muscle man and moving everything around and setting up the tents. You are continually my major support on these days.
Dad - Thank you for using this as your Saturday off from work every year. Your commitment keeps pressing forward in our mission to help more babies be born healthy.
Mom - Thank you for watching Walt the night before and throughout the event. It eases my mind and let's me focus on being there.
Derek - Thank you for filling Grandmom's spot this year for us. It got me choked up when we realized that none were there to sit with the purses.
Jennifer - You rocked taking some pictures! I love seeing what I missed!
Lori - Thank you for always getting the word out there that shirts are for sale so that people don't forget about us!
Kim - Thank you for driving in from out of town pregnant to do this with me. You are an amazing friend to me, and I treasure the time we get together.
