Food Calendar update–on hold

All,

We are asking that the food calendar (linked at the top of this blog) be put on hold.  Well, to be more specific, the actual bringing of meals to be put on hold.  Right now we are very much in a normal life pattern and are in not in need of the help.  We are hoping to not need meals delivered again to be honest, as that would mean things remain good for us.  We wanted to give those around us a break as well. 

We cannot thank people enough for everything they have done for us so far.  And we know there will be many more thanks needed for the coming months for all kinds of things.  Right now I want to focus on the meals.  Getting meals two nights a week has been so nice for us.  During Jill’s worst times they have really saved us so much time and ensured that we were able to eat as a family.  During Jill’s better times, they still were welcome breaks during weeks that were still very busy with normal lives and Jill’s battery of appointments. 

As will be the case in so much of what we have been given, we will never be able to repay those that have helped us.  On one hand, I hope to never be able to directly repay any of you (meaning we hope none of you go through this).  On the other hand, there will be ways we can repay those around us over time.  We hope to do that.  We also hope to pay this forward.  I can assure you I will now think a lot differently when I hear of a friend or a friend of a friend in need.
