Overwhelmed with Love

When I used to work, every year we would find a family in need and do a Sub for Santa for them.  I never thought, in a million years that I would be on the receiving end of one of them.  Of course when I was told about the idea, I politely declined.  But they went ahead anyways.  The other weekend my father in law delivered the presents.  Everyone kept carrying in box after box and all I could do was sit down and cry.  I was so overwhelmed with the feeling of love.  Ryan walked in a saw me crying and joking said, "It sucks to be loved."  He always knows how to make me smile.  I don't even know these people.  (It is my sister's husband’s sister's work - if you could follow that)  They bought tons of present for the kids, lots gift cards for Ryan and I, cash, a box called movie night with all kinds of goodies and movies, even a box full of food for Christmas dinner!! 
Then a few days ago, the bishop brought by a bag with a present for everyone in the family. Add that to the friends, neighbors and family presents.  My living room has exploded with gifts!   I feel so fortunate that there are these amazing, caring people out there and thought about me and my family.  I will never be able to say it enough - thank you. 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

 














This is also in addition to the You Caring website that is still up and helping with all the medical bills. 

Plus about 2 weeks ago my mother in law came down to visit.  The first thing she did was hand me a card.  Inside was full of cash and dozens of sweet notes and words of support and encouragement.  Her whole office and the surrounding offices surprised her and did this.   Wow.  I really am at a loss for words.

People are amazing!! 

We got spoiled.




















I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
