The New Fred & Ginger, Losing a Loved One

Hi all. First of all, we have had a lot going on so I apologize for the late note.

Our week in OKC went really well and I am officially in my new Fred & Ginger's. I have been doing quite a bit and it feels so good. I have even gotten in the swimming pool so much fun. However, to answer the questionI did sink, ha. We had a quick swimming lesson with floaties and it was good from there! :)

Getting fitted for my hands may be another month or so. There is additional growing that is occurring so we just need a little more time. It's really quite encouraging to know how much you can do without them!

As some of you are already aware, my grandmother (father's mother) passed away this week from a stroke and other complications. The funeral will be this Thursday at 10:00 AM in Abilene, Texas. She was a person who always had a smile on her face and provided me with the best dad in the world. We will really miss her but we are glad that she is in a better place.

Thank you all so much for all of your comments, cards and continued strength you have provided us. My family has been through a lot this year but as I told someone today I truly believe that the timing of everything and the reasons for this year are so much bigger than us. We are all growing in ways that we never would have and I believe the answers/directions are yet to come and will be enlightening.

Dad, I love you and we are all here for you. Mom & Nick you are my light.

Love,
Jen
