Just have to say..

Our to-do list is about a mile long today...and the ONLY thing I can focus on is how Dasha is touching people's hearts, everywhere.  People she doesn't know, people WE don't know...I am humbled, truly.

In our mail today was a donation from a high school friend of mine, who is literally living at a hospital in Kansas, because her BEAUTIFUL baby girl (6 months old) is fighting cancer, and has been, since before she was even born.  My friend and her husband have every reason to shut out the entire world, and focus on nothing but their angel..but instead, they took the time to be unbelievably caring and generous.  You can't imagine our emotions when opening up their card..  We ask you every day to pray for Dasha..with that, I ask that you also include baby Violet (or as Bella likes to call her, Biolet..and yes, she can say her V's:)  We say that God will never give us more than we can handle...He must know that Violet is like superwoman or something, because that little sweet-pea has had a rough start..she will undergo a transplant very soon...please remember her when you pray to God.  I am in awe every day at the strength shown by Violet, and her mommy & daddy.

We also opened up a donation from our sister in NY...we haven't always been there for each other, and it has been awhile since we've spoken.  It's amazing how something like this, puts everything else into perspective.  What an amazing young woman she is, to donate even when she is trying to make it financially herself.  I have no words (which is not common for me:)..

All of our donations are equally important, and equally valuable.  I just felt compelled to mention these two, because of circumstances surrounding them.  It is consuming my mind!

Thanks to all of you who have donated, made suggestions, and helped in any way possible...we value and love you all, whether or not we have ever met.
