We had the privilege of attending another fun-filled event in Okoboji. A number of sponsors (which I will update below) come together yearly to make this an amazing getaway for families who have struggled through life threatening or ongoing health issues with their children. This was our third year and Nieva always looks forward to it.

Looking around and seeing all of these families who have to endure so much makes me heart swell with gratitude for this little life we are so thankful to have. It also make my heart heavy and hyper aware knowing so many are not so fortunate (Precious Olivia just celebrated her first birthday in heaven and her mother has been in our prayers knowing this very well could have been us) ❤️ .

Next week will mark the one year anniversary to the end of our battle with Nieva's life threatening chickenpox and cancer care. We celebrate this, but now being in this unfortunate club of hurting families we continue to send love to those who are still fighting.

We certainly do not forget those in pain today, but are thankful for this week being a little brighter thanks to all who helped for the past few days.

Huge thanks to: Arrowwood Resorts, Bridges Bay, Arnold's Park, Pizza Ranch, Clary Lake Service, Picadilly Pizza, Blink Marketing, private donor of bingo gifts and player cards and Sanford Children's Hospital.
