Our Simon Cowell

I watch Oprah from time to time and I am sitting here while Gary's sleeps watching this story about this family whose daughter has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Their daughter is 3 years old.
This family drives over 100 miles every day to get their daughter to and from treatment. They are in facing the loss of their home as one of them has had to quit their job to be with their daughter. So, Simon Cowell has stepped up and paid their mortgage - $162,000.00 worth! As he understands this will not change anything have to do with their child's life he hopes it will ease some of the burden. He told the family that he is their guardian angel.

All of you have helped to ease our burden in so many ways - notes, cards, visits, gifts, monetary gifts, time, meals, gas cards and the list goes on miles long it seems. You are our Simon Cowell!

Unless you have traveled down this road you have no idea how overwhelmed with heartfelt thanks our family is. It is sickenly difficult being in the position we are in and we really could not do this without all of you! Our kids do not understand but someday we will sit down with them and really make sure they know how blessed they were growing up!

Thanks to all of the "Simons" out there! Even if you are cranky like the real one! We love you anyway!!
Love, L
