| Happy New Year from our family to yours! |
As we enter into 2014, Ken and I would like to wish all of you a very Happy New Year!!! God has been very good to us this year. Ken has not been back in the hospital since June 2013. He still has challenges but with the continued prayers and support of you, our friends and family, we know this year will be a GREAT one too! We want to thank God for our beautiful family - Stefanie, Greg, Kelly, Danny, Camille, Alex, Addie, Sophie, Jillie, and Gus. We could not make it through each day without your constant love. You bring so much joy to our lives and we cherish all the time we spend with you. We want to thank God for all our extended families - The Roigs and The Vaths. You always have encouraging words for us and show us what great faith both of these "amazing families" have. We want to thank God for our friends. You are always there for us listening when we need to vent and giving us good advice. Your friendships are our treasured gifts. We thank God for the good doctors and nurses who have taken care of Ken throughout this journey. Ken and I both thank Alex each and every day for the gift of life he gave to Ken. It was truly the best gift! And I thank God for the man I married 41 years ago. He was my hero then and is still my hero now. He has been through so much but he keeps going with a smile on his face.
I would like to share with you "An Irish Blessing" which hangs in my house now. It was in my mom and dad's house. It means so much to our whole family and I hope it brings you peace and happiness in this new year.
"May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields and, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His Hand."
Until the next time may the Lord carry us on our
journey,
Pat
