Last week on Valentine's Day, my old grade school, Christ the King, put together a day for our little girl, called "Have a Heart for Brenna." They made Valentine's Day cards for Brenna - including a huge card that the whole school signed! How awesome is that?
They also had a sucker sale benefiting our family...
We are just blown away by the support and love from these kids, their parents and the staff at CTK! It is so amazing for us to think about the efforts that everyone is putting in to show support for our family and for our precious little girl.
And since CTK is my alma mater, many of the teachers still there are teachers who taught me...and I know so many of the families of the children there now since we still go to church at Christ the King. I had fun reading cards from so many familiar names, including my cousins who go there!
The adorable heart basket is full of Valentine's cards! And the sign has lots of cute pictures of Brenna :)
Brenna wanted to show her love in return to CTK :)
A huge THANK YOU to the wonderful parents, students, staff and parish members at CTK who have showered our family with love!
Wow, the awesome love of the students at Christ the King sends me to bed with HOPE, INSPIRATION, AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT GOD IS ALWAYS WORKING THROUGH ALL OF US HERE ON EARTH!! And Brenna looks so cute and so happy. I'm so glad she is home with the family. Good night and God bless, family!
ReplyDeleteYou know, kids can really just blow you away by how innocently and fully they can love. Especially kids who are taught about God's love for us and sharing that love with others!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you read your comments, but 1st wanted to say I am praying for your little girl. She is so precious, adorable and inspiration. Also, wanted to offer a free hat for Brenna since you seem to have hats on her a lot. My mom makes the most adorable crochet hats and would love to send one to you free of charge. If you have a PO box or address I can send the hat email me at kelly.s.homan@accenture.com or kremershatsoflove@gmail.com and refer to Brenna's Hat. I swear I am not a weirdo, just wanted to help and provide her a girlie hat :). My mom's hats are at kremershatsoflove.blogspot.com if you want to check them out.
ReplyDeleteShe looks SO good!!! OMG you must really be proud of the blessing God has given you. I have three little boys and two have autism. While they might not *look* different, they surely are. And they have taught me so much about unconditional love and being mindful of everything that I do. I often tell them "I feel special because God chose ME to be your mommy!" and they just beam. Brenna is a very lucky little girl :)
ReplyDeleteMy son Max is in class with Brenna's cousin, Gretchen and I have found out about your amazing story through Have a heart for Brenna at CTK. You and your husband are an inspiration to us all with your positive attitude. Your daughter Brenna is so cute (you just want to hug and kiss her--adorable) and you can see how happy she is through her eyes and how much she is loved. You and your family have been in my thoughts and I will continue to pray for your daughter and your family. Thanks for keeping us posted on your progress.
ReplyDeleteI keep on praying for Brenna. She has a great family to take care of her.
