First and foremost I would like to thank God for being with me, all along the way.

I would like to thank Him for providing my husband and me with faith and strength.

We could not have gone through this by ourselves.

I would like to thank my husband.

My husband had to go through so much, but never left my side. He supported me, and was there for me from day one. His understanding and love helped me to live through the next day. He gave me reason to keep going. He made me smile when I was down; he calmed me down when I was upset.  He went through so much pain himself but always found a way and the time to support me, too.

He is all I could ever ask for and more. And there is no way on earth I can thank him enough for the things he has done for me. All I can say right now is: THANK YOU!

Baby, I love you with all my heart!

I would like to thank my sister.

Thank you, Suesse (-:

You never had a doubt in your mind and stood behind me from day one. You always listened and felt my pain. You gave me strength and energy. And you often opened my eyes when I was blind. I love you so much, little Sis

< Danke, mein Schatz, dass Du so fuer mich da warst! Du hattest nie Zweifel und standest vom ersten Tag hinter mir. Du hast immer ein offenes Ohr gehabt und hast mit mir den Schmerz gefuehlt. Du hast mich stark gemacht und mir Energie gegeben! Und oft hast Du mir die Augen geoeffnet, wenn ich nicht klar sehen konnte!. Ich liebe Dich so doll, Schwesterherz! >

I also want to thank my family and my husband’s family.

My mother in law was there from the beginning and made sure I was alright. She flew in as soon as she found out to stay with me until her son returned home. I am so grateful, you just do not know, Mama! LOVE YOU!!!!

Thank you so much for just being there!
