So that's it. That's my day. After all of it, all I can think about is that I am so grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The moment that people found out about our house they came running. We had a ward of people that responded instantaneously. I am overwhelmed by the kindness and love. We could have NEVER done all of it on our own.
