Day 150- Monday, November 12, 2007

12 11 2007

Oh, my goodness! Are you just crazy? Well, stop it! We’re fine! We didn’t have internet access last night. But we ARE HERE! WE ARE HOME!

We are better than fine! I can’t even begin to tell you what it felt like to pull off the Hwy and head to a home we have never seen. It was dark. About 7:00p. As we came around the corner into the neighborhood, one of the kids said, “Which house its it?”

“Probably that one with the people jumping up and down in the back yard!” And they were too! Jumping up and down! We honked the horn and they screamed and ran to the front of the house”

As soon as Dan parked Clyde in the front drive, I jumped out and the hugging started. My family! My Sisters, my Brother, Mom and Step Dad, Nieces and nephews. Crying, laughing, crying some more.

The house is beautiful. And fully furnished!   The beds made.  Silverware in the drawer.  Decorated beautifully!   They got the keys Friday night.  And within 48 hours, they collected all we would need and more.   My sisters and nieces did yard sales and goodwills all over town.  And my Brother drove around behind them picking the things up with his trailer!

Unbelievable. Too Much.

And this morning, my brother-in-law, Dick pulled up with the Van. “This is your car, free and clear. You don’t owe anyone anything. ” He drove to Indiana to pick it up. It was full of stuff for the kids. Toys and games, books and decorations for their rooms. And backpacks for each of them, full of school supplies.

Dan says, “I don’t get it . . .”

I say, “It’s amazing. . . ”

Dan and I are, at this moment, on our way to Tampa. Our appointment at the Moffitt Cancer Center is at 12:30. We have no clue what they will do. We packed a bag just in case. While we are gone, the family back Cape Coral (across the river from Ft.Myers) are still working. Gramma and Pop came to hang with the kids for the day. Dick and Anita were still there when we left. Lisa will be bringing more things in today. Joe will be over too.

It’s so overwhelming. To be loved so completely.

I need to get this up and get on to finding out exactly where we are going. I will write more and longer later ok? And I will update you on what we find out at Moffitt too.

Love to you and yours
