I am so grateful for friends who just know.

Friends like LaDonna who sent this video reminder to me today that sent the palpitate away.

Friends like Geri, Chris, and Connie who check in constantly via text just to make sure we are okay and send encouragement, texted prayers, and funny things to remind me to smile.

Friends like my co-workers and my boss who make work so enjoyable even when no one is responding to our research and it feels like we are spinning our wheels.

Friends like Dana, who picked up my grocery list from our mailbox and left this in its place:

Friends like our foster son who is standing strong by Sam’s side, helping him every step of the way, most of the time without even being asked. He just jumps right in and does…so that Sam doesn’t.

A friend like Jesus, who keeps us securely wrapped in His arms through the friends He has placed in our lives for this moment in time.
