Tribes (part 4)

definition: a distinctive close-knit group.

Here is a Shout out to my tribe. My team.

First off I would like to write about this woman. Anyone who knows her already knows how amazing she is. She is strong and beautiful inside and out. Anyone who does not know her, you need too. This is Caran, my mother-in-law. I am so blessed to have joined into her family. She can brighten your day with her smile and with her comforting words. Her heart is so big with so much love to give. Words cannot describe how caring she is.

Caran has been a key point to where we are now. She has been on top of getting us into this treatment. Getting the equipment, supplies, and paperwork all in order for us. Talking to other families who have gone through this journey. She has done so much research and has accumulated so much knowledge on Masons diagnosis and has helped Blake and I out more then we could ever imagine.

Thank-you Caran for all that you have done for our family.

Our team also consists of Susan, my mother. She is a helper. She puts Mason and I above herself with everything she does. She is on top of keeping us organized and prepared for our days as well as our nights. She is a breath of fresh air. She gives Blake and I an opportunity to have a break. There have been countless nights that she will stay up and feed Mason so I can re-cooperate and not go entirely crazy the next day. She has a heart of Gold.

Susan has been by my side for all Masons appointments. I would have been lost without her help. She does so much for us and doesn't expect anything in return.

Thank-you momma for everything you have done, for everything you have sacrificed, and for being such an exceptional help.

Next is Megan. My sister. She has been an emotional and spiritual support. She has such a crazy schedule as is, yet she made time to come to Masons appointments. Her words of wisdom and her heart are so beautiful. She wears her heart on her sleeve and is someone that I can talk to about anything. She has helped me with setting up this blog since I am not very savvy with it. She along with her husband Ryan are coming down here to join us and to celebrate such an pivotal moment in our lives.

Thank-you Meg for being there always.

This man is the most supportive and loving husband and father. Blake has been so incredible. He is my rock. Every decision has been made together as a partnership, he is on my page and he is willing to go the distance.

Thank-you Blake for being there by my side, though thick and thin. I am so happy to parent and raise Mason with you. I love you.

And last but definitely not least. The star of this journey. The sweetest and cutest team member of them all. Mason. He has been so strong and very forgiving (especially to the nurses who have to poke him). He is so happy everyday. We are so incredible blessed.
