I must say this was by far the most wonderful, most heartwarming Birthday I have EVER had! I'm so thankful for everyone that came along to help. It is amazing how easy it is to see the need when you're staring it in the face. Just putting a smile or look of surprise on someones face made it all worth it.

Thank you to everyone that celebrated with me! We are all so humbled by today's acts and exhausted but mostly reminded how opportunities to help others are all around us all the time.. and at times we are just to busy to even notice.
