Update...

Our family is feeling better today...

we have grieved together and alone attempting to come to terms with the loss of life.

And together, we've realized how this loss has made us all so very thankful for the blessings that have been bestowed upon us and we hold one another a little more tighter and for a bit longer, saying, "I love you" a bit more often and truly meaning it!

Yesterday, I went along with Amber to sign consent forms for surgery; a D&C is scheduled to be performed early on Monday morning. We enjoyed a beautiful day together, talking about anything and everything, made it to the lab for blood work, cross type and match, etc. before running a few errands that needed to be accomplished before the closing of the house on Tuesday evening. I'm so thankful for this event, it provides something positive for Amber to keep her mind upon and the excitement of becoming a first-time homebuyer/owner.

After running errands and getting everything in order, we returned to Gma's Saunders and later, we all went for a family bike ride together before returning to take a dip in the pool. All in all we spent a wonderful, unplanned day together and enjoyed it to the fullest!

I want to say, "Thank you" to everyone who emailed me, posted a comment, sent their condolences, sent up a prayer/positive thoughts. Our family appreciates each and every one of them, so "Thank You!"
