Even when we are going through the toughest time of our lives the most important thing to me is that we serve. We have spent less that $100 on stuff for Clara because of the kindness of others and it has been such a blessing! Even when we have nothing we give everything we can, because we know how it feels to be scared that you aren't going to be able to feed your baby. We know how it feels to wonder where your baby is going to sleep. We know how it feels to decide you aren't going to eat for a day or two so you can keep the power and water on. We serve because we know where you are right now, because we are in the same place. It's not charity, it's compassion. It's not pity, it's understanding. It's not judgment, it's love. It gets better, slowly, but it gets better. I promise.
