Time has passed once again. Shane is 7 1/2 months old and I have yet to finish the thank you notes from his birth and the thank you notes for all the people who showed me kindness during the surgery. Maybe sending 'Thank You Notes' is considered outdated in this day and age, but I still like to let people know that I appreciate what they did for me, that it matters. And so I pick up my pen again and start to scribble. It may take me another 7 1/2 months to finish, but at least each and every person will know that I haven't forgotten the gift, the meal, the prayer, the time they took to write me a note.

The 'Thank You' notecards made for Carter's 2nd birthday - almost a year ago!
