I read this story, and Two Kisses For Maddy, and cried. and cried. and cried. The things that some people go through, it’s unimaginable. My family has been homeless before, and yet, this story still gives me chills. All I can say is, everything gets better.

I didn’t have anything like it when I was going through this 17 years ago as a young widow. Such a devastating time in our lives, that it’s nice to know there are others that know how we feel!

I had spent the best part of this past weekend in bed, crying. Today I opened my mailbox to find that I was this month’s grant recipient, I had forgotten I had even applied! (post-death fog, you know). It brought a smile to the face of a very sad lady. Wonderful organization, wonderful people, thank you, thank you!

So inspiring!! I was looking around on his website and wanted to read more about the foundation. I read your story and realized…I worked with your father in law. I remember getting an email the day your husband passed away. I was on maternity leave with my third baby boy when it happened. Know that so many are thinking and praying for you still. That baby of yours is simply amazing! Keep the faith!

Your story is touching me so. I will think good thoughts for you and your wonderful son. Good things do happen. I see it everyday, my path is different, but on dark days a good one comes my way.

Warm Hugs to you and your son.

I hope you know that despite that pain of it all, you are on the minds of some really good people and they’re working in your behalf (for example, Matt and the LLF board of directors). Even people you don’t know are praying for you and thinking about you. Thank you so much for your example of hope and perseverance. In that way alone, you are helping others.

Life can just give you everything but also take it all away. Everyone has their own struggles and not everyone makes it because it hard to look at the next day without know what might happen will I have a home? will I have food? but, all you can do is hope you’ll catch a break in all the madness…you take care of yourself and congratulations you deserve it 🙂 stay hopeful….
