Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving has taken on a different meaning for us this year. We have never had so many things to be un-thankful for happen to us or our close friends in one year. 2008 has not been easy, but through these issues we have gotten a greater appreciation of the love and support that surrounds us each day. I cannot begin to tell you how thankful we are for you - our family, friends, coworkers and new acquaintances who have given us strength each step of the way. You are inspiring and we love you all. We are also thankful that we live only a few blocks away from some of the best medical care in the country. We are truly thankful for each and every doctor that has helped Carly get this far. And mostly we are thankful for Carly, who came into our lives on January 12 and continually amazes us with her strength, determination and incredibly cute smile. Happy Thanksgiving.

Love,

Brad and Christa

You were with us on Thanksgiving, even from a distance and the three of you are at the top of the list of things we were thankful for. You are the keystone of positive strength that leads all of us and Carly is too precious.
Love, M and D
