BIG Thank You!

Hi All,

I just want to take a second to thank everyone for all of your love and support. Both Steven and I are so lucky to work with people that we love and who have been amazing to us both during the past year (Fransen Engineering and The Career Centre). A special thank you to Jason and Schwabe who have been able to make Steven laugh every step of the way.

I could dedicate a whole blog to thanking Steven's parents. They have been at our side since January (literally!) supporting us with John's positivity and Ethel's amazing cooking :) Thank you to Jonathan, Jennifer and Steve for EVERYTHING and to Shelley for always spoiling us but most importantly for an incredibly thoughtful book of motivational pictures of Ashley and Ryan.

Thank you to my mom who took a break from fostering kids so that she could be available to Steven and I. She has been looking after James every day for the last 3 weeks so I can be with Steven. Thanks to my dad for holding down the fort while she gone and for constantly being an ear to listen. BIG thank you to my brother and Amy who are gifting me with my mom's time when they've just had a baby.

Thank you to James and Denyse for looking after our first baby, Tessa. We are so lucky to have such great friends and to know that Tessa is happy and well cared for while we are away.

Thank you to Steven's Granny and Granda and the Brown's for always thinking of us and reaching out to share your love.

We are staying in the most beautiful condo so a HUGE thank you to Wayne and Elaine. In addition to the free accommodation they have taken me to yoga, Steven's parents out for lunch and dropped off gifts along the way. As my mom says, if everyone was half as generous and thoughtful as Elaine this world would be a better place.

Jake - you are amazing. It's times like this when you find out who your true friends are (not that there was ever any doubt) and you have been there for us every step of the way. Carly you have been a huge support this past year as well. 

This journey has blessed us with new friends who have traveled similar paths - thank you to Apis and Caylee for all of your insight. And my BIGGEST thank you to Ruth and Brent. You two have carried us through the most difficult year. Without your story to offer us hope and then your friendship to guide us we would not be where we are today. 

Thank you to the wonderful staff at Foothills Hospital - we highly recommend this hospital to anyone who ever needs it. Dr. T and his team have a place forever in our hearts... no words can possibly thank them enough.

Everyone has offered us huge amount of supports and our thank yous could go on and on. We have amazing friends and family and we are so grateful. We will spend the rest of our lives trying to pay it forward.

Thank you.

Love Steven and Tracy
