There are hundreds of people that we want to thank for helping us through the dark days of 2010. I will add names as I think of them. Here are the thankees, in no particular order, but starting of course, with my mother, Bubby, for everything.
Thank you, thank you, as always, we thank you.
| Who | Role | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Deborah Spencer | Bubby | For life, for play, for undying patience, for coming every day, for loving Gavin with a pure heart. |
| Thomas Spencer | Da | For being practical, for holding it all together, for hours of entertaining, for always helping. |
| Lauren & Adam Hesse | Auntie Lozza & Uncle Adam | For clinic days, for the condo, for helping, for the Christmas tree. |
| Ryan Pardey | Uncle Ryan | For spending the darkest days with us, for distracting, for hanging around for hours, for playing hide and seek. |
| Glennys and Ray Pardey | Nana and Pop | For coming over, for calling, for Monkey slippers and hand-knit sweaters, for being there for Gavin’s birthday. |
| Dr. Audrey Segal | For diligence, for breaking the news with heart-felt sympathy, for being Gavin’s best doctor. | |
| Dr. Peter Dirks | Brain Surgeon | For being a wizard in the OR, for getting it all out, for saving our son’s life. |
| Darcy | ICU Nurse | For lighting the way, for giving the best advice, for bringing HOPE and laughter when we were at our worst. |
