THANK YOU SO MUCH for all who came to watch Shayla dance this weekend and for our dear Dance Unlimited family for helping see us through one of the most challenging weeks we've faced. We're deeply humbled.

This morning I told Shayne, “I don’t think we cried this much since the week of Christi’s death.” He responded, “It’s definitely been one for the record books.” As much as I’d like to put it behind me, I think this coming week is going to be a repeat. It’s the Ritz Theatre’s summer camp. Not taking Christi into the theatre each morning is going to rip my heart out. She loved it so! I have lots of sweet things to share so I will do so in upcoming days. Thanks for checking in. As I told some absolutely wonderful ladies I was blessed to have dinner with this evening, “Knowing others still care gives me so much comfort. It really helps.” Thank you!
I sat with Shayla's little dance friends this afternoon in the balcony and I am absoutely stunned by their kindness. The girls asked me to sit in the middle of them because they said I was funny. They told me some of the most profound things for little girls. "My mom told me Christi's probably dancing in Heaven." "You must be really sad your daughter died; I'm sad for you." "It was really funny last night when you said that after a year of dance lessons, Christi couldn't remember first position." And of course, "You didn't cry last night, but your hand was really shaking. We could see that all the way up here in the balcony." They made my day!
