Friends and Family

One of the most helpful things to us is the amazing support we receive from our friends and family. From our church family praying, our parents offering support that goes well beyond anything we could ask, and our friends, we are truly blessed.

I've really noticed this as one of our closest friends recently told us that they are having a baby. We are (really, truly!) so excited for them! The thing that's meant the most to us is that this couple has gone well out of their way to be so respectful of our emotions and feelings. They announced the news to us privately in a way that gave us privacy to work through our emotions and even went so far as to tell us beforehand when they were going to announce their news to the world via social media. Being prepared for that announcement was so helpful.

They have gone well out of their way to be sensitive and that means so much. We know that it is a sacrifice for them to think of us during their time of incredible excitement. But, because they did, it makes us even more excited for them.

I can't wait for our future children to have them (and their future children!) in their lives because they have set such a wonderful example of friendship, kindness, and compassion.
