What we do have…
I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for all of the love and support you have offered. I have always been thankful for family and friends, but you never really realize how much you have until you loose everything. All that was material looses its significance and you realize all that ever really mattered were the people in your life. My heart breaks when I think of all the people who have lost family, or who are trapped in hurricane ravaged areas. Hug someone close to you and thank them just for being them. Life can change in the blink of an eye and in the end all any of us really have is each other.
Dear Audra:
You have so much been on my mind! Then I found out you had a blog so I now have a way to contact you. I am so sorry for what you and Chris have gone through & are going through. I talked with Willie & we want you to know that if you & Chris decide you would like to try to start over in Nashville, you both can stay with us. Lauren is in college so we have an extra room with it’s own bathroom. Nashville has a lot to offer… Think about it & if it’s something you want to do, our home is open for you both.
Thinking about & praying for both of you,
Aunt Jen

Audra’s Refugee Report

Audra- I am so glad you are safe. You have been on my mind, but I just heard that you’re okay from Holly. If you need anything please let me know. I’m not sure if you are going to come to Michigan, but if so I have room for all 4 of you. My work is hiring right now too, so send me your resume and I’ll submit it. My number is 248-390-6128. I have missed you so much and I am so glad that you and Chris are safe.

Here’s hugs Audra and Chris. Come December I’ll have a lot of space for you two also if you’d like to try Nashville. You have a lot of family here. It’s a wonderful place to live and lots of opportunity here for you both. My heart and prayers are with you. Love to you both.
