23October2011 Support

sup-port (group) noun:  a group of people with common experiences and concerns who provide emotional and moral support for one another 

If you'd like an illustration for the word "support" all you have to do is look at our family's experience, particularly over the last 4-5 days.  We've never felt so much love.  So many folks have called, emailed, visited us this week that it's been a little overwhelming.  We are so grateful for our friends and family.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!
