When you have a newborn you quickly find out who your friends are. To preserver their identity, I won't name names, but here are some of the people that have come to our aid.
For them we are eternally grateful!
Mom - who stayed with us for four days. She shuttled our daughter back and forth to school, washed laundry, cooked, served dinner, cleaned dishes and helped out in a million ways. She is priceless.
Neighbors #1 - were there when the unexpected happened and I woke them in the middle of the night. They accepted my daughter as their own and found a bed for her while we ran to the hospital. They have given us clothing for the new little girl, mowed and edged our lawn, and have been a invaluable source of love and support. God teaches us how to be Christian in his bible, but you can learn from the example these people have set. I'll treasure them forever. Oh, and they brought me a bottle of bourbon when I needed it the most.
Neighbors #2 - also edging and cutting the grass. Another fine Christian family.
Friends - who live around the corner. They have cleaned our house from top to bottom and brought food for us when we needed it the most. God bless them for being their.
Mom's Groups and Mothers of Preschoolers - two groups to which my wife belongs to. They have arranged for meals for us for about three whole weeks! What an amazing gift! It really is helping out and saving the dad's energy.
Relatives and friends - who have brought gifts and diapers. Thank you so much! We've gone through two cases of infant diapers already!
Such kind people in our lives. We certainly do appreciate the help! Let us know when we can repay the favor.
Anyone who says there aren't good people left in the world is sadly mistaken.
