That's how many days have passed since we found out about Kimmy. 222 looks like zzz's which means sleep, and that is something that is just not happening for me right now (1:57am). I felt compelled to just say 'thank you' to everyone for your constant support and prayers, for being so supportive of our entire family through this process and for relentlessly not being afraid to check in and ask questions.
Kimmy has handled this challenge with grace and dignity. She hasn't shied away from anything and has shown such strength and courage along the way. I thought I knew not only my sister, but my entire family. This has shown me how much I didn't know and has opened my eyes to the beauty that is within everyone's hearts. The beauty has always been there, in 222 days, it just became something truly alive.
Duane thank you for loving Kimmy and taking such great care of her and the kids.
Mom and Dad, you have shown, without a doubt, your true commitment to your family. How lucky we are that God gave us you as our parents.
Family and friends, you are the light that brightens each next day.
How fitting that the Olympics are in London and that Erika chose "Keep Calm and Carry On" as our mantra. They have shown so many images of it that I feel like NBC is talking to us!
Enjoy a few recent pics....
GO KIMMY! GO TEAM USA!
