Reconnecting: Many of you will remember the family below. It was nice to receive this letter and have an updated picture of these two beautiful children.
2009: Angela, Jacob and Emma
Dear Pati and Staff,
I arrived in central Florida on March 28, 2012. I'm the assistant manager at mobile home and rv park in which I live. I've just purchased my 2nd home in the park, a 4 bedroom 2 bath double wide with additions
Jacob and Emma are everything to me. Jacob will be eight years old and he is going into second grade in the fall. He was diagnosed with Asperger's and is in an alternative school where he did amazingly well. Emma turned six in May of this year. She will be in first grade in the fall, and she is really a social butterfly. I work twice as hard to make sure that she doesn't feel unloved because Jacob requires so much of my time.
I'll never forget my move out date October 24th, 2009. I'll never forget what you all did for us, and the only thing I can do now to repay you is live, love, learn and grow. SFP saved our lives. I was very young then and I am still young now, however, I wish I had learned that you need to be able to take care of you and your own before anything else.
Your efforts, everyone, every church, every meal, every box of diapers, bottle of shampoo. Every car donated every meal. Every shower every air bed, every portacrib. Every hug every smile every lifesaving stranger, every tear...will forever be inside everyone who ever passes through your doors. I wouldn't change my life, from the day I stepped foot into the day center until the day I stepped out 5 months later.
I think it'd be great if someone could read this on my behalf! I'd love to read it myself, however, I cried rivers writing this so I can't imagine reading it.
We love you!
Angela, Jacob and Emma
