Praying for you and David. Thankful that you are able to find gratitude in the middle of all the pain and frustration.

This is such a blessing to see your blessing. Know you are loved and our prayers continue to be with you and your family. Julie I was recommended a book titled “1000 gifts”. Have you read this book?
