Kindness

August 14, 2007 - On August 27, 2007 family and friends are having a benefit to help with the rising expenses associated with the cancer. The benefit will be held at Jerry's Bait Shop in Lee's Summit, MO. from 6pm-close. There are several bands that have donated their time and talent. The community and our friends have been donating goods and services for the auction and raffle. So many people have offered so many things that it makes you slow down and really appreciate everyone and everything.

I've had time to think about everything and take in all the kindness that everyone is showing at these difficult times. The food from the neighbors and community, the offers from random strangers, and the support of our family. It really makes you stop and thank God for everything.

I would do anything not to be the one accepting these gifts, but here we are and it is so nice to know people care. Kaylee is trying to get out of bed and move around because she desperately wants to get better and you can see it in her actions. She will get stronger each day and start to gain her 30 lbs. back. But more importantly we will be able to relate to the population that will go through this on a different day.
