I always knew that you were relying completely on the strength of God and it's evident. What a tremendous testimony.

It is amazing to read through what the past 2 1/2 years have been like for you guys. I know that none of it has been easy and you have come through it, though beaten up at times, with so much strength. You and Adam (and Gavin of course) have such a story of God's goodness and grace. <br />I am so excited that you guys are on your way back to T-town!

The past three years, through your blog, I have cried with you, prayed with you, rejoiced with you and learned to love you and your family even more than I did before. What a Christ like spirit you have. So willing to give of yourself so other people can realize they are not alone in some of their thoughts and what they may be going through. I am so glad our paths have crossed in this life, because you and Adam are such an inspiration to all who have had the chance to know you. We have loved your family for a long time, but never as much as we do now. We will continue to pray for all of you.

While we had a lot to deal with during Grant's problems, it is nothing compared to what you have done. It is so wonderful to hear the whole story, and know that everyone has those same feelings. Gavin is so very lucky to have parents as wonderful as you and Adam. Praying for everything to continue to look good!
