Just can't believe we've come to the end of the tunnel already. Now there is another one who needs us and I know we can do the job of loving him too. Loving Tim and being there for him is another way to honor Mom and Dad. You have done an outstanding job being there the past four years. I intend to stand with you from here on.<br />Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293816902877287168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21109207.post-24175332374679060792014-03-04T21:55:05.518-05:002014-03-04T21:55:05.518-05:00Where would we be without hope?

You provided her with a wonderful home, a place where she felt comfortable and loved. When she was here once a month for a weekend, she always wondered when she was going back to your house, and I tried to make it as comfortable as possible for her here. I loved her too. Thank you so much, Martha. Instead of thinking about what you "wish" you did, think about all you DID do...that's a lot. She knows you loved her.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494061549313899425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21109207.post-41184576158426656072014-03-04T19:45:22.878-05:002014-03-04T19:45:22.878-05:00Hope, it's what we hold on to.
