Generosity at its best
I know there are many charitable and generous people in the world. I have been lucky enough to meet a few of them in my life. However, I've never been quite so touched as I have been recently. I've mentioned this before on the blog, but the volume of loving and supportive e-mails and phone calls we've received has been so encouraging.We've also gotten a lot of support through the Angel Flight organization. Now this is an amazing group of people.
The organization is run mostly by volunteers. The pilots are volunteers. They go out of their way to make sure we're taken care of, donate their time, their plane and the fuel. These amazing, gracious people have made us feel like we're not going through this treatment alone. That is more than we can ever thank them for.
We've had a pilot fly 2-3 hours out of their way to pick us up while "on his way home", drop us off and then fly 4 hours back to their home (Thank you, Mr. Ross!). We've had a pilot fly us through some very nasty storms and keep a calm voice when I ask about the severity of the weather for the 20th time (thank you Mr. Woodside!). And we've had some wonderful pilots fly crazy flight patterns (all the way to the west side of Florida) when trying to get us to Miami (thank you Mr. Jordan).
I could go on and on about each of these pilots. The bottom line is that these are amazing people with huge hearts. And this little family in St. Simons Island truly appreciates them.
