    Each and every time I read one of your blogs about Kyle (strength, courage, and the like), I learn something more about myself.

    Thank you so much – God Bless you and Kyle!

    Lori, this is beautiful and terrible all at the same time. So deep, meaningful, and causes us all to reflect and try to understand. I’m so sorry for all you and your family are going through.

Just want you to know God is leading others around you and hates this infinitely as you do.
