We just put an addition on. We had problems with it and it took so long. Now it's all gone. It went so fast.

Thank God for my neighbors. They saved us.

We are so blessed to be on this street and have my family here. I just want to say I have the most incredible neighbors.

Police officers, firefighters, EMTs - they are all out there every single day - literally just a phone call away for anyone who needs them.

Sadly, I haven't been able to find my earliest stories, but the impact of being told by someone important to me that I could do something special is immeasurable.

My daughters are in kindergarten and second grade, so many of the stories they tell, write, or illustrate are about each other and our dog, Buster.
