Well, the big stuff is over. All thats really left for me is my own adjustment period and taking care of family. But I wanted to say that I cannot even BEGIN - I dont think facebook is big enough - to come up with enough thank yous for the people who came in out of nowhere and stepped up and helped, offered help, showed up today, listened to me ramble, checked on me regularly... I mean the list is extensive. Its so long that Im afraid Ill leave someone out. I honestly dont think I deserve it. Im not sure Ive always been as good of a friend as my friends apparently are, though now I will have to make sure that I am. I definitely learned a whole lot in a short amount of time, a crash course on family and friends, if you will. Lets see..Thank yous: On the front lines with me through all of this were my husband and my stepfather, Stefan, and Jack, who helped make sure all of this went as smoothly as possible and being the only people who really went through it all right along with me... And the fact that both me and my husband have the best bosses in the history of bosses, Louise and Clint who gave us both a ridiculous amount of time off that is unheard of in most professions... our family that arent here on facebook... Nadine who came and stayed here about five days and cooked food, helped me clean the house, kept my kid occupied so I didnt lose my mind, Jaime and Mathew who took my son for four whole days so we could handle things... Shawna and Rachel and Leslie and Jess who helped me clean my mothers house so she could come home and pass on in peace... Lois Topolski for listening to me over Bill Grays and gave me the medical advice Ill miss so much from my mom... Mary for bringing her adorable little one over to play with mine and hanging with us for dinner.. Joyce L.Spencer and Ralph for the awesome card and what will be my grocery money until I get back to working normal amounts... my cousin Joey for appearing out of the blue, who used to be my best bud when I was a kid, and his family for reuniting with and staying in touch with me... my sister Lilli and my stepsister Lisa for being awesome and encouraging and checking on me.. Kate for speaking up with her awesome storytelling abilities this afternoon... a special group of friends who know who they are (but that would ruin the fun if I named names) for being my #1 go-to whenever a crisis happens.... and I probably left out about 90 people, because my brain is fried. But I honestly...could not have survived the past few weeks without you guys. I am not sure I will remember to take the time to say thank you personally, and I wanted to make sure it all got said before I crashed and forgot. I cant express my love and appreciation enough, I am absolutely floored by how many people put on big boy pants and carried me through the last few weeks. And now I can say that if any of you ever go through something similar, Ill be sure to step up and give whatever I possibly can. Thanks, and cheers to you all.
