(Yes, that is capitalized for a reason.)
I don't even have the words to express how grateful I am for my village.
❤ My husband, who dropped everything (even though work is busy) to fly up to NY with me (and he HATES to fly). He is the very definition of a supportive partner and I could not do life without him.
🚂 My son, who abruptly took over running our household, including parenting duty of a 15 year old.
🌻 My daughter, whose faith in God lifted me up when I needed it most.
🌼 My mom, who has always given me unwavering support.
🐓 My mom friends who have selflessly taken K under their wings while we were away, giving her rides, mending her dress, taking her to get pampered and sharing photos from last night's Winter Formal when I couldn't be there.
💛 My friend, who is always on call for Dexter duty, who loves my dog as much as I do and is always, always available when I need something.
🐕 My son's girlfriend, who is a calm and steady presence in his life, and another of our fur baby caretakers, and Dexter's favorite person.
🥎 My son's boss, who immediately sent him home from work and gave him as much time off as needed when she learned of my dad's passing. She's not only a great manager but a wonderful friend to me.
🧡 My sister-in-law, with whom I share a job, who has worked a lot of extra days so I could be here in NY.
💙 My hubby's work family, from his brother and his job foreman to all of the employees on the job site sending prayers.
🥤 My godmother who delivered a much-needed cold drink during one of the long, long days spent at my dad's bedside. The 30 minute visit with her was the highlight of that day.
👩❤️👨 My dad's longtime companion who took amazing care of him 24/7 for many, many years. She gave him a loving home and I'm forever grateful.
🙏 All of my family and friends, both near and far, who have prayed for us, called and sent messages of support and love.
