"No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves."
Amelia Earhart
It is difficult to find the right words to say thank you to this wonderful community. Your timing always seems to be perfect because when we have a tough day, you are able to put a smile on our faces. Yesterday was one of those days and when we picked up the mail, we were humbled by your kindness and generosity once again. Lili and I marveled at all of you who donated to us even though we have never met.
I don't know why things happen the way they do, but I am inspired by the kindness afforded to us by all of you. I look forward to the day that I can tell the story of the 365 community to our beautiful daughter Chloe and I know it will inspire her to have a similar generosity and kindness toward others. With your gift, we have started a 529 college savings account for Chloe for her future education. Thanks so so much for everything!
I do not know you or your family but your story touched my heart. I hope all is going well with chloe. I keep her and all of you in my prayers. You are blessed:)
I agree with everything they've said! You guys have really worked your way into our hearts. I am so glad Chloe has a savings account begun! I am so so glad we helped and more than anything that we brought you comfort on a hard day.
I hope little Chloe is doing ok. My Jackson worried me today and told me Chloe was sad and we had to pray for her again. Who knows if those little insights are ever reality, but we prayed anyway.
Big, big hugs for you guys.
My father (81) was here all week. He takes up my time, in a very good way. But everyday, I scanned through the posts to check on Chloe, even when I didn't have time to comment on other photos. Am glad today was a good day and hope she has many, many more!
@lorraineb Lorraine, you may have said it best. I will never forget that your album, Chris, was one of the first I paged through staying up late into the night. I think I said then that I felt you shared so much of your life that I felt I knew you - and appreciated that openness so much. You have offered your fun, your love and your pain to us in all your vulnerability - how could we help but want to love you all back?
Great idea! Hope Amy Hughes received my little contribution too - the transfer from here seems to have worked OK. And Chloe will be going off spending that before you know it!
@chriswang Oh Chris that was wonderful - what a little miracle! Thank you for thinking of showing us those precious moments. Hope you and your beautiful girls are ok and getting some sleep now she's home with you. Smiles and warmest wishes across the miles to you all x
@chriswang Love that video! What a journey for you guys. She's grown so much! You both just look beaming now. I'm sure Julian is watching over his sister :)
Oh wow. Crying. This is so beautiful...she is so beautiful and a tiny little miracle. At 4:18, when she is drinking her milk...that was my favorite hand motion from my girls when they were eating. It is so sweet.
I hope little Chloe is doing ok. My Jackson worried me today and told me Chloe was sad and we had to pray for her again. Who knows if those little insights are ever reality, but we prayed anyway.
Big, big hugs for you guys.
