The reason I have thought so much about the English language is because I believe it is lacking in a significant way. I don't feel like there are words that are adequate enough in expressing the gratitude I feel for so many people that have loved, served and prayed for our family throughout the past year and a half.
What do i say to people that provided meals for months while I was in the hospital and cleaned my house when I couldn't? What do I say to the medical staff that cared for my baby each and every day in such a loving way? What do I say to friends that watched my children daily while I couldn't care for them and my husband had to be at work? What do I say to my husband for selflessly working day in and day out as mom and dad while providing strength to me on a daily basis? What do I say to family that flies in to be there for me and my family and give me strength and love continually? What do I say to people I have never met that send encouraging messages and care so much about me and my family? What do I say to people that anonymously donated money to help pay for my sweet baby's funeral? What do I say to people that shower us with gifts for our sixth baby? What do I say to people that do such selfless and loving things? Because thank you or thank you so much don't even scratch the surface. Grateful doesn't either. I wish there were words that we could use only when we need to express such deep and loving thanks. When I say thank you I feel like a very small portion of my heart is used. The sincerity and depth of love and gratitude I feel for each and every one of those people spans the widest and deepest of oceans. It reaches the ends of the earth and touches heaven. The gratitude I have will be felt for eternity.
I love you sweet boy. All the way to heaven and back.

Thank you Leah. You have put into words what my heart has felt and what my tongue can't say. I have felt the spirit testify to me of truths from the words you write. My faith has been strengthened through you, Zeb and the girls continued faith and example.

I love you.

Love you with all of my heart and soul. What do I say to my little sister who has changed my life, the way I love and the faith I have for the rest of my life? You are my hero... comes up short. I am so proud of you.. doesn't scratch the surface. I love you will all that I am... still doesn't cover it.
