I'm a Mom, of a 18 yr old bio daughter and 5 yr old adopted son; I can not even mentally go where you are because it's too much for me. I am, truly, a wimp - I couldn't even finish watching your video. Your story reminds me somewhat of an accident that happened in Dallas 6 years ago, a horrific traffic accident killed 10 people at once, 5 of which were a Mom, her three sons (5, 3 and 2 months) and her mother. They had been out for a shopping trip and were returning home, and a truck crossed the median into their Ford Expedition and another vehicle. I followed the Dad's story, his story broke my heart also. I read that a year and a half later, we was getting married to a nice woman he met at his Church. I don't know where your path will lead you, but I'm trusting that there will be some redemption for what you are enduring. I pray for you, that God keeps giving you each day what you need to keep going, and more. A playground for your kids is such an awesome memorial, when your donation processes goes online, you can be sure I'll donate; and when the tree house is done, I'll take my kids there. I'm sending you a virtual hug.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-22028459542751895802010-02-26T20:36:05.940-05:002010-02-26T20:36:05.940-05:00OMG, Amy, I just watched your video.

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help you. Wish I lived closer to you. I an anxious to donate but I wish I could do more. Will pray for you and your project - what a wonderful memorial to your beautiful children. If I can do anything I will do it in memory of my own daughter - wish I had your strength. Hugs and good wishes.

To see them as such vibrant children and to know they are gone is surreal even to me, who's never met them or you. I can't imagine how you must feel. I think the playground is a lovely way to remember your kids. I also plan to donate to the playground fund and would be willing to help you expand your fundraising efforts by spreading the word once the on-line option is up and running.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04119671459324598804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-68513133742463770702010-02-26T09:29:13.288-05:002010-02-26T09:29:13.288-05:00Glad to hear things are moving along.

Thanks to Mrs. S, we are now reading the Magic Treehouse books with Sarah's big brother, and CAN'T WAIT to go to Kate & Peter's playground!
