This is an adorable card that our lovely and talented sister, Karie, sent to me after Bob died. I can only tell you that it has been a very "weird" 13 days. It seems just like yesterday that we were at his house, sitting at the kitchen table, talking with him and watching him laugh at his grandson. But then it seems so long ago that we had his viewing and touching graveside service.
It has been nice to see Steve's family together so much and it has made me realize, even more, how incredible my family is. Steve and his family have been honestly shocked at the support my family has given in this difficult time. To me, it is just my family doing what they do best, but to the Preston's it is something that they don't see too often. They continue to talk about how many Burnett's were at the viewing, how Mom and Sherie have made dinners and taken Luke whenever asked, and how wonderful Mom is in general. When I've listened to stories of Hattie, Steve has often looked at me and said, "Does it sound like someone you know?" (referring to our Mom).
I know this all may sound a little corny, but I want you to know that you continue to amaze me. I am truly SO grateful to have all of you. I love you!

I love you too. I often take my family for granted until I talk to others about their families. Ours is something special. Mom and dad must have done something right. Love you all.
I think our family is normal and everyone else are just freaks! Thanks for making my life so much easier. Love you all too!
