We have a rally with the Northern Indiana Austin Healey Club tomorrow and pass the word.

What a sweet gesture for Cole to make, thinking of others, for HIS birthday. The tears are flowing, as I think of the lesson, that sweet child has learned, at such a young age. God bless his heart, and yours and JR's, for raising such a thoughtful child. Glad the two of you got to spend some alone time together!<br /> The pictures of Lindsay are just precious, and it is so nice to see her sharing in all the family things! She is a miracle, and you can't even put a monetary amount on that. Cruz is such a funny and typical 3 year old, out to have a good time. He is precious, and so darn cute!<br />Thanks for sharing the pictures, and many hugs for all of your beautiful family. A special hug and kiss for the Princess.

This is a beautiful and heartwrenching post...so much to think about. Then I recovered a bit...and read Colleen's post...well, you know, snot bubbles again. I had also just read Colleen's first day of school post, so I am an absolute mess! You two have so much to bind you together...you will share each others ups and downs for life.<br /><br />I feel pretty inadequate to respond, except to say I am so thankful to God that you have these wonderful happy days to enjoy your children, which as hard as we all prayed, none of us KNEW you would ever get. I feel absolutely so blessed and honored to share in your joy, both you and Colleen. So: ENJOY, LAUGH, HUG, CUDDLE, LOVE your children. Life is good!!!<br /><br />As to the grand total, Suz...I don't know why but I think it is important to see it in print...a physical representation of what it took to keep Lindsay alive and get her a heart. And...a good reason to fund raise!!! So you tell Cole all the Lindsay Fundraisers are so proud of him and we will help him get that car show to help the babies at Mott. God Bless you Cole...you are a very special little boy and you have taught us a lot, too...you have been brave and helpful and understanding when your mommy and daddy had to be away with Lindsay and we all love you so very much.<br /><br />So...this blubbering friend must get it together and go cook dinner...mundane, but true.<br /><br />Love you soooo much...<br /><br />Elaine<br /><br />PS: Pictures are AWESOME!!!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06846150919975215637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957642802085660244.post-11440565399862406472009-09-09T11:32:26.406-04:002009-09-09T11:32:26.406-04:00Oh friend...This truly is amazing to see you sweet...Oh friend...This truly is amazing to see you sweet crew doing things as a whole, healthy TOGETHER family!
