And you’re probably right.
I owe a thousand “thank you”s that I may never get out. (Sorry mom, you taught me better…).
Literally, I’m behind on thank you notes for actual gifts. But I’m also in debt for eternity for what feels like a million kind words, warm hugs, and ongoing prayers. Many from people I may never meet.
J and I have talked about how amazingly supportive everyone has been. Family, friends, and Big (hearted) Oil. When J and I have time to sit and talk, we often get emotional. But usually not about the boys. About you. About how much you care. About how freely you support. About how strongly you love.
This experience is of course life changing. Holding these boys is life changing. But YOU have also changed ME. No matter what journey our boys go on, I will undoubtedly learn a lot about life, love, and God along the way. But even now, you have taught me about the power of prayer. The importance of reaching out to others. The selflessness that exists in the world. You have taught me that the world is full of good. I suppose I’ve always thought that was true, but I’ve never felt it more fully than when I hear from you. So while there is an unused stack of thank you notes collecting dust on my desk, please know that I am forever grateful. And I can’t possibly put in to words how much you mean to us.

You and J are such special young people who are parents to 3 “special boys” embarking on an unknown journey but you have one constant, and that is God, who loves you, and so do we!!!
Melody and Justin, I want to thank you for sharing you life…..the ups and downs, over and unders, positiveness and doubts…….but mostly your strength and ever growing trust in God. Power of prayer never ending. Thoughts everyday! ❤
I have kept up with your posts for awhile now and eagerly await the next one to come. I hope things are well when I am unable to read anything and cry with you when things haven’t been so good. You have a fantastic and amazing support group!
You and your family have courage deep love and three very handsome boys
Your boys are very lucky to have you as their parents
Will never forget your promise to N and L
Family life three kids schedules
Enjoy
So many of us are praying with you each day
Melody,
Your posts have been inspiring to Lane and I. Your courage and grace are amazing! The news has it’s ups and downs, but the way you handle it is always uplifting. I’m so proud of you as a mother of faith and love. I can’t imagine anyone being stronger than you.
You don’t need to thank us. You have and are such an inspiration to the world, especially to the world of parenting. I admire your outlook on life and how much honor, glory and praise you give our heavenly Father. He is certainly watching over you and your family. I bet that when He sees your posts He even gets a little emotion. We will continue to pray. God Bless.
Melody you have been a true inspiration to many. Your family has been faced with a challenge many of us feel is larger than anything we could ever emotionally handle. Your blog has been a testment of your faith and bravery in every way. There are three things that last…..faith, hope and love. Each time I check your site you have another post sharing your faith, displaying lots of hope and successes and showing all the love your family has in your circle of love. May your family continue to be richly blessed with each of these. My prayers are with you and your family.
Donna
