Katy,
Thinking of the joy and the hope you bring to others through your brave and strong heart. Thank you for the reminders that each day matters greatly and that each moment is important. The measure of our life is the way we pay it forward in the service to those we encounter along the way. As you say, "we are truly here to lift one another up."
Stay strong -
Chris

Thank you for sharing the update to your journey and for challenging me to lift other people up and bring joy to their lives. You are truly an inspiration to many. Keep up all those positive thoughts! You probably don't know this, but you made my day when I caught a glimpse of your smiling face at school last week.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you,

Hi Katy! Does sound like a whirlwind of a vacation! But I’m sure it was great for you and Tony to get away with the girls for a change of scenery for a while. That’s always good for everyones’ spirits! I enjoyed the cute pictures of the trip you posted on FB. Being with your little kids at the beach in the sumnertime is... priceless! Hoping all goes well for you in the upcoming weeks ahead. Love, uncle Bobby
