Days like today remind us what life is truly about. 

Thank you—from the depths of our hearts—to the sweet friends, family, and even strangers who have shown up in love, prayer, and support for our Sophie. Every single act of kindness, no matter how small, has lifted our spirits and reminded us that we’re not walking this road alone. 

If I could hug each of you, I would. Your prayers, your letters, your gifts, your hugs, your kind words, your thoughts—every single one—has carried us through what has been the hardest year we’ve ever faced. 

To the precious kids who set up today’s lemonade stand: thank you for being a light. Your love and joy meant more than words can express. 

Sophie continues to fight bravely for her health, and it’s because of people like you that she keeps smiling. Thank you for cheering her on. Thank you for reminding us that hope is real and love is powerful. 

Praising God today and always for His goodness through you.
