Thank you Merry. Those mere words are not enough to express my gratitude for what you, along with others have provided this week.

I count you among my core group of best blogging buds and the way all of you rallied to help has warned my heart and blessed my family.

Travis,

There is no thanks necessary, I only wish I could do more.

I count you in my core group of bloggy buddies, too, Travis, and I'm so happy you and Jennifer and the boys are all doing okay and no one was hurt in the fire.

I was going to email you and ask for your boys' names - my boys are the same age and thought they might like writing pen pal letters with a little care package... though I think you'll have your fill of hotwheels soon :-)

But I knew you must have a million people to talk to and things to do, so I didn't want to bother you - but I'm thinking of you guys and when you get a chance shoot me an email about the boys.
