The whole crowd with me and Larissa hugging in the middle
The Heroes for Children staff. Some VERY hardworking women.
Larissa and me.
Sometimes the staff can be a little silly. You should see how slap happy we get after events!
The very FIRST HFC volunteer and our Office Manager, Cheryl.
My mom and me
Larissa begins to toast me. I know I'm not going to make it without crying. Her speech was wonderful
Like I said, wasn't going to make it through it.
Then they said I had to make a speech. Cried through the whole thing and attempted to thank everyone as best as possible.

Me, Brooke, and her mom Jill. Brooke is one of my favorite patients and her family is extremely special to me. She made this painting of the two of us that now hangs in my playroom. LOVE

You look amazing, may you enter this new season of life with a ton of confidence.
Life has throw you some wicked curve balls the past several years, non of which you deserved. I hope you find peace and happiness in this new season.
I've been following your blog since Allie was sick. I rarely post, so here goes... I am so sorry and sad to read about you and Andrew. I never saw that coming.
Having said that, you look AWESOME!! And Maggie (also my daughter's name) and Katie are SO cute! I seriously cannot believe Maggie is 5 already. I "remember" when you announced you were pregnant, she was born, etc.
Good luck with your future journeys.
When you have rough days and feel alone, look at those pictures and know you are loved. Know that they represent a fraction of the love people have for you. Know that you are special. Know with certainty that Gwen your close your eyes at night you have made a difference in the worl. Jenny I am a pediatric oncology nurse and you may never fully know how much you have changed lives for the better. With all the changes in your personal life it would be easy to feel down, sad, unloved. Look at these pictures, look closely and feel all that love. Your Allie is so proud. Your Allie is the root of all that love. You are loved Jenny, never forget that!

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL JENNY!!!!! Sounds like a beautiful, yet emotion filled evening. Congrats on your new step in life and I can't wait to hear about the future!
You look simply awesome. I have been following you since Allie was sick and although I have never met you, I feel like I know you. I was so sorry to hear about your marriage. I do understand, I have been there done that but it does get better and some things you will actually enjoy doing by yourself, later. You have some of the most beautiful little girls ever. I wish you the best in all that you do and I believe that you will come out on top and that the kids that get you as a teacher will be truely blessed to have you.
I have enjoyed following you for years- I just have to tell you how wonderful you look. Love your dress, your glowing face, etc. It must have been a very tough evening for you but it looks like you made it through with your usual grace. Good luck with the new teaching position and your new life.
Enjoy this summer with your beautiful girls. Keep believing in yourself!
