# 8 MY AMAZING SUPPORT GROUP

I cannot go any further without stopping for a few minutes to talk about the amazing people that surround me with such love and care. Of course, there is my family and my church Southside Baptist Church in Sebring. I will talk more about them later, though my support does not stop there. A multitude of friends around this entire planet who write, call, text, message or skype with me. All of them have told me that they are praying and I’m certain that they are. I am blessed and humbled by the fact that there are people in nearly every time zone around this world who are lifting my name in prayer at all hours of the day and night. Of course, I cannot leave out all my family, my brothers, Doug and David, and particularly my parents who have taken over a lot of my care seeing as at this point I need a lot of help. They’re not just caregivers. They are physical and occupational therapists, chauffeurs, shoulders to lean on and cry on from time to time, cheering squad. That list could go on and on. The important thing is that they have gone above and beyond any call of duty for a parent and they continue to show an enormous amount of strength. Love you mom, dad, Doug and David.
