  4. Dear Amy and Ben,
    We have never met formally, but in having the honor of knowing and working with your Mom, Patti, and in hearing updates on how you both and Remi are doing, and then having the ability to share in the beautiful thoughts and prayers within your blog - I really wanted to write to you. I hope it’s OK.
    One of my first thoughts today upon getting ready for the holiday is of you both, Remi, and of your family. I know I’m not alone in this. And I know I’m not alone in being so thankful that you all have each other, your strong faith, and the love and support of all of your friends and family.
    For the last several months, from afar, I have admired and so respected your quiet strength and candor. Such extraordinary parents to foster yet protect the open innocence of your special little girl and to share with her the beauty of the world as seen through her eyes.
    My heart goes out to you both and to your family and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
    Thanks so much for sharing your blog and for your avenue for donation to help others.
    Sincerely, Kimberlie
