Mama Tip:

"One day you'll tell your story of how you overcome what you're going through now and it will be part of someone else's survival guide." So that has been my like, mantra. We have been through...we've been to hell and back. And there are other... So many other families that are in the exact same situation that we are. And if I can reach one other person, give hope to one other family from the tiniest way to set up supply in their house to like full-on emotional support like that is...has become one of my life's missions because I felt so alone and Pat felt so alone. We both did. And to know that there are other people out there who are going through the exact same thing has really kept us going and kept us motivated to help Lily, to help ourselves, to just kind of make the best of the situation that we've been we've been handed.
