To the Good People

Thankful Day 7: I know I have said it time and time again, and will continue to say it for years, I am more than thankful to know that people truly are good. My family has been blessed beyond years by the out pour of generosity and goodwill we have come to know from the good people of our small towns. Growing up in a small community has been amazing. I have always felt safe, I have always felt like I have a friend, and I have always felt that there is someone somewhere to lend a helping hand. You all are truly amazing!! We couldn't have made it through half of what we have been through without knowing we had so many good people in our corner rooting us on. I have been so fortunate to meet so many wonderful people. Many of these people, I have come to know as friends. It is ironic to say, but I found so much comfort in having conversations with almost complete strangers. These people were there to lend a listening ear, provide kind words and wisdom and to even lend a good hug. I have found in so much of this that people are good, but you also find out how good the 'good' people really are. I have made friends and lost friends this year but the end results is the same. When things matter people are there for you. Those people surrounding you during those times are the people that truly matter. So, thank you again for having our backs, believing in our family and praying for our Sweet Sophia. I am thankful for small town comradery and compassion. I am so honored to be from a small town and a part of a small town today. Small towns have the biggest hearts and the best people. I cannot wait to share Sophia with all you someday!
