I just wanted to say thank-you to all the care givers who have always been there to support is emotionally, physically and spiritually. Your love, kindness and support is what has made is well in so many ways. So here is my list of the ways you have touched our lives:
1. You have attentively given to our needs when we were sad, hopeless, scared, crying and cranky and you have felt the same way at the time but did let us know because you put us first!
2.You fed us, held our hands, wiped our tears and cheered us on when you were very tired yourselves too!!!
3.You drove us to hospitals, took off work when you really need to be at work and sat there with us with a loving smile!!!!!!
4. You ran to the pharmacy and waited for our meds and worried about leaving us alone while you were there!!!!!!
5. You answered and made phone calls to family and friends regarding our health and well being when no one stop to ask how you were and you were so tired and sometimes over stressed taking care of us!!!!!!
I ask all who have been loved by someone special who helped them to add to this list of how much they were loved and are loved by their care giver.
Thank you from my heart and soul!!!!!!!

Thanks to my caregiver,my husband for:
1. still asking after 6 years of coughing spells, "you ok?"
2. reaches for the phone eagerly, hoping it's the hospital calling
3. cleans out my bathtub b/c bending over makes me cough
4. cleans up my upchuck after a coughing episode
5. takes our boys wherever they need to go be without making me feel guilty for missing it
6. hoping that I get a donor as much as I do

How do we ever thank those people in our lives who we love and they love us. By just picking up the phone and saying hello they know from the sound of our voice how we are feeling/doing today. That to me are hearts tired together forever! How blessed are we to have people in our lives that they can read the tone of a simple hello and know where to go from there. Sending all those people thank you in our lives.
