Emily,
My son "S" and his friend had a lemonade stand today to raise money for your run. They ran around the park with the signs that made telling everyone that you were going to run for a whole day to raise money for a shelter for mommies and kids and that they were helping out by selling lemonade. I was impressed that they were not shy and didn't get discouraged when people didn't buy. They were really happy when they did make a sale. It was a great experience for them. They are looking forward to meeting you!

So yes, I am a slightly emotional being but . . .

gratitude

Amazing.
Random. Acts. Of. Complete. Awesomeness.
Day. Made.
Thank you so very much "L" for telling them about what I am doing.
Children are amazing.
They see [or hear about] a need and they know just how to help.
I thank you and your dear family and friends.
