Daddy Daughter Thank You

I just wanted to update everyone on what has happened since the Daddy Daughter Dance.  We were able to donate over $15,400 to 5 families and the PMP Cure organization.  I wish you could have seen and heard the wonderful, heartfelt thank yous from the recipients.  It was unbelievable.  Tears of joy and gratitude.  Comments from "I just can't thank you enough", "You have no idea what this means to me", "I can't express my thanks enough", "We received your card and were in absolute shock! We got chills throughout our body as we saw your beautiful card and amazing, generous gift." "Words cannot express how thankful we are that your family thought of our family during these trying times.  You have touched our hearts and we are forever grateful."  So with that, the Kahler's thank each and every one of you for your generous gifts, prayers and support.  What a gift you have given to so many people.

Next, I wanted to share with you a link that our Daughter, Amanda has put together.  She recently published a book about our experiences (with all of us as co-authors) to help others cope with the world of cancer.  Her blog contains all the information about the book and also contains links to a couple videos from the event, pictures, the CBS news story and more.  Click on her link and scroll to the bottom for links to everything, including how to get the book if interested.  We are extremely proud of her for pulling this all together.

Lastly, I just wanted to give you a quick update on Joe.  He had his 4th treatment today.  It has been difficult for him.  The rash is spreading to his back and throat, he is extremely fatigued, he has constant stomach cramps, he vomits throughout the week, he still can't eat and yet he stays upbeat.  I am more and more amazed with each passing day.  We just treasure those moments when we can walk down to the mailbox or go to the grocery store to pick out soups, juices and Popsicles.  We are hoping to make it to my parent's home for Thanksgiving (even though Joe can't eat).  We will make him turkey flavored soup and put extra whip cream on his jello! 

Thank you all for everything you did to support the Daddy Daughter Dance, for giving us the opportunity to share your generous donations with families in need, for your constant support and prayers.

Forever Grateful,
The Kahler's
