This was one of those days to remember forever! The twins graduated Preschool!!! We have made it! They were so adorable and loved being surrounded by many of the people who have helped us get them to this milestone: Grandma Marcia, Grandma Cinde, Papa Ed, Ms. Beth, Allison and us. The girls were adorable and so grown up! They chose their own outfits for this special day and for once they chose the same matching dresses. It was a proud day for them!
The emotions hit me when they walked into the gym with their classmates and I realized it was really over. These girls have been going to this preschool since they were 2 years old and before that Katelynn went here for 2 years! We have loved this preschool and all the teachers who have helped to make my girls who they are as students and young people.
I also broke down when Ms. Kim (Lindsey's teacher) gave me our "Klunder Care Can" that our friends at preschool put together for us to help us throughout these past months. We have been blessed with so many surprises from this can and today was no exception! The teachers had put together a surprise for us by going together and getting us a Bulldogs gift certificate which was increased by the owner when he heard who it was for. My heart was overwhelmed with all the love we were shown! I am one person with a horrible cancer inside of me and it has brought to us so many gifts! The number one gift is LOVE! Your love is a powerful medicine for this whole family! It has held us up when we wanted to fall apart or maybe not keep going during the hardest times! Your love has warmed us and allowed us to soar through these treatments in the style we have! Your love has filled me with the smiles I have kept on my face to show what is in my soul!
The outpouring for me has spread from one coast to the other and from over half the continents. As I try to absorb this I am overwhelmed! It is at this time that we are able to see the love people have for us in an amount form which is surreal to me! I am also aware that the feeling of love truly has no boarders or nor does it have to be physical! I have been receiving the most beautiful letters from the pastor who confirmed (..so many years ago) and they have been one of the best blessing for me! She influenced me to be the courageous, strong woman in faith that I am as well as be the caring and compassionate human to others! There was a song she would play at most of our meetings which to this day brings me comfort "Day By Day" and helps me find my way through different times. Rev. Nancy is an incredible lady who brings a peace to every room that she enters (or every letter opened that she writes)! She and her husband are now in North Carolina and it has been years since I have actually seen them but they are in my heart and I feel their prayers for me as a huge invisible hug! I feel these hugs from so many who I cannot wrap my arms around! The power of prayer has been amazing and the positive thoughts are all encompassing!
Please know that each of you are amazing to me and I do think of each of you often! Life has been changed but I am so thankful I have found the good in it all!
I am looking forward to the future and I can see that it truly is just around the corner! I have to get through these next weeks of appointments and prepare for the surgery but once this is completed the light will be shining so brightly! Blessings to all!
