One thing that I can't say enough is how grateful we are for our community, near and far. It's for certain, that our kids and our family is loved and covered. I don't take for granted the outpouring of support and sheer kindness we've received from so many. Being that we moved to Florida over a decade ago with our family, we don't have grandparents nearby. I always tell people that if I don't know anything else, I know that God provides. On this struggly grief journey, what we've dubbed borrowed grandparents have clocked in overtime to make sure that these Wheeler Babies experience no lack! On top of being blessed to have them, it's also amazing to know how much joy they bring to their borrowed grands. The selflessness of our friends who share their parents/grandparents with us in addition knowing that these little huggers are being a blessing makes my heart smile. That's so rare nowadays. They have been so creatively instrumental in holding us together this year. Whether they've covered us in prayer, or taken over for a friend trip...They have SHOWN up!
So today, I'm shouting out the Beautiful Borrowed Grandparents and Great Grandparents . If you have:
Taken them to cookies with Santa;
Shown up for their music recitals;
Rocked A little one to sleep;
Cheered them on at their basketball & volleyball games;
Given them swim lessons;
Taken them for a walk to the lake;
Taken them to the aquarium;
Braved the mall to take them shopping
Played Hide N' Seek;
Joined them in one of their EPIC dance parties;
Given endless hugs;
Baked Bread with them;
Taken them Fishing;
Given Unlimited Hugs;
...we need you, we appreciate you, and we thank God for you.
