We would like to express a sincere thank you to everyone who thought of our family at this Christmas season. It is difficult to be away from family, friends, and everything that seems "normal". But we heard from so many and have been blessed by the generosity that has been poured on us that the small things we have given up have been replaced over and over again. Thank you.
