It's been a difficult couple of weeks. Tears shed, hearts broken, faith tested are only the beginning. This past week has been especially difficult. I don't feel a blog is the correct platform to discus all of our tales of woe. I know there are many who know our situation and are praying for us. To those of you who have reached out to our family with love, compassion and friendship, thank you seems so trite. But please know we are grateful for our family and friends who have strong shoulders for us to lean on.
I know that our Heavenly Father is watching over us. In fact yesterday when we were functioning at a low level, Daren received a phone call from a friend who needed him to help with a trial in my favorite city--PORTLAND, OREGON. Words cannot express the love I have for 'The Rose City.' I lived there for 5 years and it has a special place in my heart. It is the most beautiful city with green beautiful trees, a beautiful downtown river, great shopping (with no sales tax), amazing food. I could go on and on how much I love Portland. Plans are still in the works but I am hoping to be able to accompany Daren on this business trip. I think it will do both of us wonders!
Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and friendship!
