Besides our family-family, our faith-family at the church and school has been holding us up during all of this. Work has been extraordinarily flexible, which we are eternally grateful for. Prayers are sending us so much grace and we think some healing too.
Some of the students have made a special effort to remember Ellie and keep her close to their hearts by writing her name on their hands. It started with some athletes doing it during a run as a way to make a corporal sacrifice for Ellie. Now others have done it and it's so very touching. Like I said, we feel very lifted up right now.
Go Vikings and Go Ellie!
