Part 10

Gosh I am a blubbering idiot today. Today is really the first day since September 15th that I've had a few minutes to myself to really injest the reality of what actually happened. I'm looking through pictures, videos, texts, posts and the astonishing donations that were made on behalf of my miracle girl & her family. I really don't know how to thank everyone enough for everything that was done on behalf of our family. I knew we had amazing people in our lives but this is truly confirmation. When I told Jerika about the GoFundMe & Venmos while she was still intubated she shook her head no & then tears started rolling down her cheeks. If you know her at all you know she's a giver not a taker so that part was so hard for her. But those donations have helped more than anyone will ever know. I know we can't return all the goodness that was shared with us but we as a family have agreed to do our best to pay it forward in every way possible. To the nurses & other healthcare professionals, paramedics & EMTs you people are rock stars. You should all get paid accordingly, which I know for a fact you are all very underpaid for what you do. Last week Jerika went to meet some of those rock stars that undoubtedly saved her life. That's a story she will soon share. 

I have new found heartbreak for my own mom & many friends who have lost children & what unbearable agony they have gone through. I truly believe those women are without a doubt angels walking on this earth. I still will be sharing the story in it's entirety from my point of view, but we are deciding the best way & platform to share that. So stay tuned. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. 🩷💜
