But I told her the longer she had to wait, the better the house was going to look. |
I could tell from the moment we met that she had been helping people all her life. Even while dealing with her disability, she was always trying to find a way to help her friends. I felt that it was her turn to be on the receiving end. |
I loved getting everyone together, putting my heart into it and being able to surprise her. |
The response from people when they found out was awesome. They started donating appliances, furniture and supplies for the house, anything they could. Even the seller, Jerry Forest, made donations. |
We would say we needed something, and it would mysteriously appear. I could not wait to bring her in. |
