Letters to my people

Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement.  I absolutely love all the comments on my pictures and updates.  It means a lot to me that I have all of you behind me.  Please keep me up-to-date with what is going on with you.  Although I am living my adventure, I want to hear about your adventures as well.  I am so thankful to have each of you in my life.

Dear Church Family,
Thank you for your prayers and support.  Please continue to hold me and my family up in prayer as we adjust to life in Dubai.  We miss being with you at church and doing life together.  We hope to find a church here soon that we will fit in to.

Dear Family,
WOW!  Can you believe it...little D is in the big city!  I want to thank all of you for your support and your blessing as we have moved away.  As you know, this has not been an easy road for us, but with you behind us, it makes it easier.  I hope you enjoy your day together today celebrating mom's birthday.  Give her a hug for me.  I love that we can speak or text with each other often.  I miss you all soooooo much.  God has given us an amazing thing...each other and parents who are great example to us.  I am so thankful to be able to call you not only my family but my friends as well.  Give all your kids an extra squeeze for me tonight and tell them that Aunt D loves them and misses them.

Dear Paul,
I don't know where to start other than saying I love you so much and miss you incredibly.  I am so thankful that you are able to be home with Evan and loving on him.  I can't wait for you to join me here and begin living life somewhere new.  I pray for you daily that you will find here a new experience that will make you excited to get up every morning.  I get excited thinking about us exploring this new place together and raising Evan in such an exciting city.  Hopefully you will be here soon!

Dear Evan,
This is the hardest letter to write.  Mommy loves you sooooo much.  Sometimes I wonder if this was the right decision to leave you.  It is only for a short time and you will be here with me.  I am sorry that I am not there when you call out for me.  I am sorry that I am not there to see you growing and learning and laughing.  Every time I think of you I get sad because you aren't here yet.  I can't wait to show you all the cool places here.   I feel awful that you can't be here right now.  But, I know that Daddy is taking great care of you.  Please know Mommy loves you so much and misses you terribly.  You are such a joy to me and Daddy.  You make us so proud. 

"I'll love you FOREVER
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living,
My baby you'll be"

  1. D that was a beautiful letter. We are so proud of you and knew that you would be ok. I know that it is hard for you to have your family on this side of the ocean but in the great span of time this is really just a little blip- not nice but little. As for Evan from Heaven- he has a wonderful dad who is very capable of being mommy and daddy to him while he needs to be.
    Stay strong. Keep on keeping on mom
