Update & Thank You
Family and friends -
Paula and I are finally back. We stayed on in Omaha a few more days and then ran away to Colorado for a few more. It took another few days to get our legs under us back home.
I hope you received a message that there is this update (which is why you are now reading this). The reason is that there are so many of you that we wish to thank. So many attended the services in Durham and Omaha, and we had an opportunity to connect with some of you. Unfortunately, we could not have enough time with most, and we're sorry about this. Please know that you mean the world to us. Friends, classmates, teammates, teachers, coaches, neighbors and family all showed up strong when we needed you. The Church of the Good Shepherd was so kind as to let us use their facility with little notice and we thank them so much. We received probably 15 cash donations with no identification. We also received donations through the RBC bank account we listed on this blog. To those people, we acknowledge your gift and thank you for your kindness. We don't know your names, but we know there are many that made contributions.
We have heard from many that this blog was important to them as they followed the events of Brandon's accident. We think this was worth the effort and hope you feel the same. If you have any thoughts at this point, we sure would like to hear from you.
Coming home to the empty nest is as stark as we imagined. We are really struggling with the loss of our dear BJ. Please keep him and us in your prayers for awhile. As more time passes, it's natural that life goes on and we will become distant. For many of you, Brandon was the link between us...and he is gone. If you will, it would be nice to hear from you from time to time. If not, we understand and thank you for being a part of the situation.
We don't know what more to say. Thank you. We love you. "God bless us, everyone!"
