“Next month makes it two years since I made that phone call that changed our lives. This anniversary seems to bring all sorts of emotions with it. My heart is so full of happiness as I think of how far we’ve come; you will all be in my heart always. The impact that you’ve had on my family is something that I am grateful for every day.
