Humbled by So Much Love and Kindness

Since Ricki's diagnosis of NF2 we have been blessed by so many by their love and support and are humbled by the continued support...A few days ago some sweet friends from work came to me and asked if they could do something very sweet for Ricki. They wanted to raise enough money for us to get Ricki to Disneyland during Spring Break.  I was so touched by their kindness and so many thoughts rushed through my head. ..How can you turn down someone who wants to do something nice? I knew however how much it would mean to Ricki and how good it would be for her. I swallowed my pride and agreed to this generous act of kindness. . I went home that day to tell Ricki but she was having a migraine and just wanted me to hold her and to be close. The next day when I got home from work she was doing better so I told her I wanted to show her something. I pulled up the GoFundMe page that my sweet friend Robin Cooper had put together.  When Ricki saw the title she just started to cry and was so excited....then we both cried even more as we saw the generous donations from those we loved and from those we didn't even know. It has been so humbling to have such an outpouring of love and support. This morning before I left for work she was excited at the thoughts of planning what she was going to wear to Disneyland. It has brought a light to her eyes and something fun to look forward to. Thank You.
