I want to take the time to jot down my gratitude to the active duty and civilian coworkers from Martin Army Hospital who have stood by my sister, mother, myself and my nephews us through all this and have chipped in through a variety of means to help maintain our household’s stability.

They helped me and Brandon clean up and unbox the new house on post which we moved into in August (which we hadn’t done due to both health and time constraints), they made school lunch easier for RJ, they have kept my mother fed while she has waited alongside my sister for over a month at Columbus Regional, they have helped me and Connie keep up with her online schoolwork, they have pulled strings to ensure that there is a sense of continuity in this household (wherever it may manifest), despite my own shortcomings as a “de facto” caretaker.

They are all amazing people, and I appreciate their involvement in our lives.
