Remembering a princess
Thank you to our secret friends who are showing us that they are thinking of Caitlyn. Saturday when we returned home from dinner at a friends house we were greeted by a very touching sight. The tree that was planted in the fall in memory of Caitlyn was decorated with Disney Princess Christmas decorations. We all got out of the car in the middle of the driveway to look at the tree. The base of the tree was also wrapped with a Tinkerbell blanket. It felt like Christmas morning it was such an unexpected surprise.
Not only did the person/persons decorate the tree but they left a large plastic storage container in the driveway to store the ornaments in after the season. Oh and We did find the gifts for the boy's in the container as well.
Thank you to all that remind us daily that Caitlyn is in their hearts and minds. It truly means the world to us to know that Caitlyn touched so many and remains in your thoughts. I cannot explain how it feels to have others remember Caitlyn. We know we think of her daily and miss her. But to see and hear about others that we know and some that we don't know missing her brings tears to my eyes. I'm getting emotional just writing this. So thank you to everyone that is praying for us and keeping us in their thoughts. We need it now more than ever. The holidays are really shaking our foundation with mounting sadness in our hearts as the holidays draw closer.
We just have to beleive there is purpose to all of this pain, and hope we have the strength to travel the path before us.
We wish all of you a Merry Christmas,
The Churak Family
