My baby boy,

Hi, handsome. Today was very busy. The dogs had to go to the vet to get cleared to fly and we had our final Kids Hurt Too.

Good news, the dogs are good to go and fly out on Monday. Bella needs to lose a few pounds, so we will work on that in Pennsylvania. After the vet appointment, we took the dogs to the beach. I wanted the dogs to see the beach at least once before we left. They absolutely loved it. Their paws touched the ocean, but that’s it. Bella laid down in the sand and just hung out while Apollo at one point was rolling around and eating the sand. I was happy we took them.

As I said before, tonight was the final Kids Hurt Too for us. Elijah and Lucas cried when we left. It’s hard because I feel like they’re going to have to now grieve another loss. However, I am so thankful for everything that they did for us and really helped us during one of the darkest times.

I’m not really good at thanking people in person. I don’t feel like I properly convey all my feelings and how incredibly thankful I am for them and what they do. It’s even more difficult when I know it’s the “last time” for something. As if there’s no possible way I could communicate with them once we were done using the resource.

I’m sorry, baby. I fell asleep writing this while lying with Elijah. I’m going to go to bed now because I think the rest will end up as nonsense. I will continue this tomorrow. I love you so much, my baby. Goodnight and sweet dreams:
