Gratitude-is that word enough.

Bryan has a saying that says,

"If ingratitude is numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues."

I have a hard time finding words that describe the experience we have had over the last 6 month, but gratitude is one of the emotions I feel.

I was amazing to see and feel all of the people at the medical benefit last Friday.  So many friends and family and associates that we work with.  Having an experience that isn't felt as often as it should be.  The mood was upbeat and fun.  Almost like just a neighborhood party.  Food, music, entertainment. My kids put on a great party.  For a few hours, the cloud that has been over our head seemed to fade away.  It didn't even matter that Bryan has been sick, or how much pain he had been in.  He was tired, but the mood and general feeling lifted him up.  He was in a state of shock, that there would be so many people come out to support him.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to all that helped in any way to make that night one of the most meaningful nights of our life. You all have touched our lives in so many ways, and as the song goes--because of you, we have been changed for the better, we will never be the same.

I told Bryan, next time we think we want to do something on a Friday night, I am going to see if we can find a benefit to go to.  It doesn't really matter if we know them, it is just a feeling that uplifts your life.
