Tom, Carter, Patrick, Alina. I can not even begin to write how much joy and love they have brought me. My little village. I am so lucky.
Carter is an amazing daughter, mother, friend. In spite of rocky teenage years, our relationship now is unbelievably strong.
Patrick is the man I would have ordered for her and our family if I could.
Tom – all those years I was not sure we would make it—- well, he has demonstrated love, strength, kindness. I could not have gotten through my femur, my pneumonia without him. He never once complained. He says “this is what I signed up for’…. well – no , but I am grateful.
And, Alina – what a wonderful, sweet, kind, smart, beautiful person she is.
Best thing we ever did was to follow Carter and Patrick out to GJ.
