Tonight as I sit here and think of something to blog about, I get choked up with love and sincere gratitude in my heart. Tears come to my eyes and I am completely taken over by emotion. My family never ceases to amaze me with the love and compassion they have for me. No matter how mean I am or how distant I can be at times, they continue to be there for me. At times I don't understand why they continue to do this. But I am so blessed that they do. Never in my life have I met or will meet better people. My family is my whole life and I love them with everything I have.
They are always there for me in my time of need. To laugh with, love me and pick me up when I am down. My previous post I talked about how hard divorce can be. Words can't even begin to describe how hard it is. But then you have this incredible group of people who would do anything to see you smile again. People who are there to help you through the hard times even if that means their needs come second to yours. This week every single member of my family has shown selflessness and helped me.
Dad and Aaron, Thank you for fixing the explorer, taking time and money to repair my car.
Adri and Brett, Thank you for being open to the idea of watching my boys so they don't have to go to a miserable daycare where I don't know what the hell is going on.
Zach and Kelly, Thank you for letting me drive Eleanor (08 Mustang) all week while my car was out of commission. I LOVED IT!
Audrey, What can I say, THANK YOU, you are such a good friend to talk to and help me through this hard time since you have been there. And THANK YOU for making such a risky decision with me.
Melissa, Thank you for calling me with a solution to the broken part on my car and even from miles away and tied up with your own issues, stopped what you were doing and expressed your love and concern for your bigger sister.
Mom, wow, where would I be without you and your love and friendship. Several times this week you have come to me while I was in tears, put your arms around me and cried with me. All while trying to console your hurting daughter. Sometimes even as adults, we need our parents to put their arms around us and tell us everything will be okay like when we were younger. I love you!
I love each and every one of my family members and stand amazed at the love we all share and how close we are. My siblings are truly my best friends and the coolest people I have ever met. That definitely says alot about our wonderful parents and how we were raised!

What a great tribute to your family! It really got me teary-eyed. You have such an amazing family and you are always there for one another. Love you all!!!
Heather..
I didn't think that you were posting anymore, that is why I haven't checked your blog until now. I love you so much honey, and I am so saddened by what you have had to endure through this divorce, loosing your home, trying to adjust to working again, worrying about your children..
I wish Dad and I could do more. We love you so and it breaks our heart when our children are suffering. Hang in there... we are family.. We love you..and your children/our grandchildren.
