Our Friends Are The Best

Aaron loves hanging out with Griffin, Griffin always has something to say - actually he usually has about a million things to say.
Ron is the picture of a strong work ethic.  He's always there to help and never complains.  He's awesome at doing the edges, too.
Here is our little worker boy in his coveralls.  Griffin is too, too cute.

They (whoever they are) say that in times of need you find out who you can really count on.  Let me tell you we have the best of friends.  Over the last few weeks everyone has been so kind and generous.  I've realized that it is easier for me to be the helper rather than the helpee.  But my friends have been amazing, kindly working around my embarrassment, to help in so many ways.  A few days before I first ended up in the hospital, I started removing the wallpaper in my living room, getting it ready to paint.  Since my hospitalization I have never returned to that job.  My chaotic living room has been driving me crazy, but for some reason not enough to give me the energy to do something about it.  

This past Saturday the Kloosters showed up to take over and get the job done.  By the end of the day the wallpaper was removed, the primer on and two coats of paint were up.  As I write I am happy to say my living room is put back together and it looks awesome.  I rearranged all the furniture and I love how it looks.  Aaron is not too keen on it but, him being the smart man that he is, isn't complaining.  He knows not to aggravate a wife that may have cancer - not a good road to go down!!!!

Paula and Ron are so busy with their own lives, to give up a whole Saturday was above and beyond the call of duty.  We are so very thankful and honestly humbled by their kindness.  This is just one of so many kind gestures our friends and family have done.  Our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you.  Aaron and I have had many conversations about how kind and giving everyone has been.  This kindness has filled our hearts to overflowing.
