in EggHead Forum
this will be my last post for a little while, because life is getting challenging with all that is going on.  A few days ago @mEGG_My_Day  sent me a pm telling me not to give up hope and also about some of the struggles he and his wife had gone through.  

He asked if it would be ok to send Chef Norah Grace a care package to help lift her spirits.  I certainly didn’t mind, I figured Norah Grace would love it.  Inside the fedex box that just arrived was a wonderful assortment of  Memphis rubs and sauces.  Norah was so excited she  can hardly wait to try them.  Also in the box was a letter addressed to my little chef that had me balling like a small child as we read it together. 

He and his wife connected with their words to what our hart are felling.  She has been overwhelmed by this whole situation, and at just 10yrs of age finds herself being a caregiver at times.  To know that Rick and his wife, wanted to lift her spirits warms a fathers heart.  The fact that the keep us in their thoughts and  prayers makes me so  thankful  for this community of people. 

All I can say is that our family has been put through the ringer and we’ve received such support and kindness from many of you.   There are to many to name, and some have asked to stay anonymous, which I respect.  Please know the kindness that you have provided has helped us all along this difficult road.  It has kept me from tossing in the towel and calling it a quits.  There have been a number of times when I just wanted to sleep and never wake up again, but I can’t because of have my girls to look after.  

I can not thank you enough for what you done, I will never be able to repay the kindness I’ve received from you, but know it has helped tremendously.  

Happy cooking my EggHead friends and family,
Ryan

    Giving something to someone in need has a way of benefiting the giver and the receiver. Proud to have @mEGG_My_Day as a brother egghead. 

    Will be thinking about you in your absence. Look forward to picking up where you left off when the time is right. Until then.....keep the faith.
