I am finally at a place now that things are starting to come together that I feel I need to tell everyone who has helped us how important they are to us. There is nothing like putting your entire life into a dumpster that brings you to that place!
So last Wednesday they brought us a trailer to live in. One draw back it is really cold and we have no hydro yet. They hooked it all to the trailer but hydro one has to come and hook it to the panel in the garage. And if you know anything about how they work they come whenever they feel like it! Not a moment sooner! We have water because they hooked us the plumbing ...so just the hydro!
So hopefully we will be home soon!
Don't get me wrong. We have been staying with Colleen and Scott and they are great but there will be nothing like just being at home..whatever that is and just being able to relax. I am tired of being tired and stressed and just tired of being at my kids. We don't have to be at the kids, Scott and Colleen love them because they are who they are but I know deep down they too will be a bit happy to see us go. It's hard having kids around all the time when yours have been gone for years. I just have this need to make them behave better because we are at their house.
So on to my thank you's !!!!
Scott and Colleen of course for putting up with all of us and putting your life on hold while ours is in total chaos! For watching the kids and keeping their lives as "normal" as we can. For just plain loving us!
My Mom & Dad. For helping with the kids, for loving us! For giving up their house for donations and stuff! The babysitting, the laundry, the time to wash the favorite blankets and see if you could save them.I can't name all the things. Making the little things matter just as much as the big!
Just for being my Mom and Dad. I love you and can never thank you enough.
My brother and Sister in law. Thank you for making sure that the kids had Pj's to wear to bed the first night! That Dalton had clothes for school the next day. And just taking the time to make sure that we knew you were there if we needed it! I can't thank you enough for that. My kids thank you too!
Tracy and Kevin. The neighbours. They have had our dog since the very first day. I am hoping since we got stairs today that the dog can come home to the trailer tomorrow. He should be OK if it is a little cold. Won't be long we will hopefully be home with him!
For making sure we had pj's that night, supper in our bellies and for the phone usage, the hydro for our freezer and for the toothbrushes! I don't know what we would have done that first night. You were thinking when I was so upset. I love you and am glad that I have a friend like you. I hope that someday I can return half the favour!
Angie. I don't know what to say. My secretary for the first few days. My salvation for a few. My friend. I love you too! Enough said!
Darin's Mom for making sure Tyson had his favorite John Deere blanket back since his burnt up. And helping get stuff picked up around the house. For being my Alli!
And others, Burnard and Shirley Foley, Aunt Ruth, Aunt Leona, Aunt Pat and Uncle Don, Ethel & Ken White, Bridget and Don, Amber, Buck and Shirley Foley, Troy Foley and his girlfriend. Friends of mine from work, Sherri Wells, Cindy Wells, Kelli Akey, Donna McKeown.
Special people of Belleville Westlyn Church who generously donated to our family and gave us the love of the church. Pastor Mark who was right in there with us getting dirty helping out those first few days after the fire. Bringing the kids treats and hats. Your a special guy Mark. There is a reason you do what you do.
Carolyn Kelly and her family. For building Dalton up so high that he has the confidence to do anything. For acknowledging kindness and doing the same.
There are so many people that I am sure I have forgotten but you'll get added later or a thank you special to just you in the mail.
We cannot thank everybody enough and all of your kindness is overwhelming.
With that said!!!
GET YOUR HAMMERS OUT!
We love you all.......Diana, Darin, Dalton and Tyson
