Loved

Beyond humbled right now! Today has not been a wonderful day here. After struggling with Jayen's teacher last year, kindergarten going to half days, Jayen's teacher taking an extended leave, and now finding out she just submitted her letter of resignation; I've been a blubbery mess of tears. Which of course didn't stop when I went to pick up the mail today. The most amazing thing happened to me. A beautiful orange envelope surrounded me and gave me the most profound hug. It w...as so unexpected! The sight of the return address alone took my breath away.
I've written about my friend Erin and her husband Tim on the blog before. Their sons were taken from them far too early. I can't imagine the pain and grief Erin and Tim are feeling right now.

She here for the week and bought everything she could think of to take back to Guam with her. I've been getting packages non-stop but none are for me. I set the package inside the garage and we went to the park. After dinner I got a text message reminding me to check outside before bed.

I'm loved and I don't know what I did to deserve it. Thank you for being my friend! What an amazing gift.
