My Friends During Easter dinner while Keira was…

My Friends.
During Easter dinner, while Keira was in the midst of an epic meltdown, one of my friends offered to play with her so I could get something to eat.
Another offered to make me a plate so I would not have to leave the area where Keira was somewhat content.
Someone help Riley with lunch and everyone helped keep an eye on her.
When it was clear that I needed to take Keira home, another friend offered to drive Riley home later so she could stay and play.
And through the entire ordeal not once was there a deep sigh or any indication that my daughter was ruining Easter dinner.
I can think of nothing, in my life, that I have done to be worthy of these people.
I thank the Lord for the parents who raised these 8 children, for the 8 children, for their spouses and for the grandchildren.
I would feel eternally blessed if my daughters grew up to even partially resemble the characteristics of these people.
I can think of no better example of Christ than the Carlson Family.
Thank You: Judy, Al, Charity, Amanda, Rachel, Lindsay, Seif, Nate, Sam and anyone I missed (and Dale, Shannon and Onycha who were away.)
