WOW

I received a package in the mail a couple days ago that I wasn't expecting. And when I opened it up I saw a letter with a saying from Uppercase Living. I was like what in the world! The letter read as follows:
Jenelle,
We all just wanted you to know how much you mean to us. Even though some of us have never met you in person, we all have been praying for Andrea and you for quite some time! You are in our daily prayers, and we hope this little gift gives you the comfort of knowing she is always watching over you!
Love,
Your Blogging friends,
Leah R, Abbie T, Tera K, Brittany B, Jess G, Courtney O, Lauren B, & Ashyle F.

WOW is all I can say. What amazing sisters in Christ. It still amazes the compassion people have shown since Andrea's passing. I several times have thought, wow these people have such busy lives and still stop and reach a hand out to someone else. Whether in prayer, or uplifting messages, donating to our Relay team, gifts of remembrance, it just amazes me, and I'm so thankful. I have hung the Uppercase living on the overhead in my kitchen to where you see it when you walk in. It's a saying Andrea posted on her carepage in Jan. 2009. Here's a picture of it hanging in my kitchen.
"Always Look at Each Day as it Being the GREATEST Day to be Here"
Andrea Boes 1/09

To the ladies mentioned above:
You'll never know how much your support through this difficult time has meant. Every prayer and encouraging word has helped through one more day. Thank you so much for the gift. Everyday, several times a day I can look up at that and remember to do my best that day for her. Also thank you for your amazing support to Team Andrea. I know we are making her smile up there with our efforts to find a cure. God Bless all of you.
With much love and appreciation,
Jenelle

Your constant support of her and for her was amazing and I'm really glad that the you liked the Uppercase Living.
