this one is for you mom
as most of you know tim and i are the proud parents of three wonderful teenage daughters. and although this is truely a blessing, having to be in hershey everyday for close to a month creates a bit of a dilemma with the kids and life in general. SO>>>my mother has come to the rescue.
she has stepped up and got her house in order and moved into our home to help out. (thanks dad)
everything from cooking, to cleaning, to organizing, to laundry (and you all know we have TONS of that), to keeping that watchful eye on the girls, to cheering them on at sporting events. making sure the homework is done, getting them to church, and many many many more things too numerous to list. tim and i are so greatful to what she is doing that we wanted all 21 states and 4 countries to know how much we appreciate her and love her.
i always buy a mothers day card for her and some years they are funny and some years they are serious-this was a funny year because we just couldn't handle any "mushy stuff" at that time this year-but i had another card ready and i would like to show you all the one verse:
when i think of all the times in my life that you've been there for me. i realize just how fortunate i am to have a mom like you. you've given me unending strength, support, and encouragement. i often wish there were some way i could give you even half the love you've given me.
this verse comes from my heart and tim's heart. tim and my mom do not have the usual mother-in-law issues that many have. they are VERY VERY close and i know he loves her like a mom.
well, enough mush for one day-we just wanted you all to know how we are getting from one day to the next without incident. we are sending her home for a couple of days that she can re-group, catch up on her own stuff and spend some more time with dad, but she will be back (you will be back-right mom??). thanks go out to those stepping up to cover for her while she is gone-our support system is totally amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! we love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you care to send mom (nana, amber, mrs. conner) a comment-i will make sure she gets it!!
we love you mom.
thanks for checking in...stay tuned...

Tim,Tam and girls,
Continually giving God all the praise for Tim's healing...all the miracles we've seen and those that are yet to come are a witness of God's power and his grace for us.
You've given mom a wonderful and well deserved tribute. I'm sure it will be one of her most treasured gifts from you.
We love you and are lifting you before God with other believers this morning.
Fitting tribute to someone with the heart of the generous God she serves. What an awesome reflection of Him! I know there's nothing but love and respect for you, Amber, in this Dewalt household.

Tammy,
I have been wondering who has been your right hand while all of this is going on. I truly thought it must be your parents. Thank God for Moms,they are great. Please tell Amber that i think she is a very special person for all the wonderful things she is doing for you,Tim and the girls. May God bless her always. Tell Tim hello from us,we keep him in our prayers daily Tom & Amy
Go 'Mrs. Connor Mom!!'
I am a great fan of Moms! Mrs. Gabos Mom lived with Bob, Andrew, and I for 5 months. I could not have survived bed rest and the pressures of early infancy without her. She did it all - with a toddler attached to her leg. And she got on a PLANE to get to us quickly to help. Moms are amazing and you all deserve a great scoop of 'mush'!!
Love, Wendy
Know you have a great Mom..The Apple has not fallen too far from the tree. Tell Tim His(Your) Pepsi Family thought of you guys often this weekend. Keep the Faith. God has some big plans for you all and we all look forward to the time that we will share some laughs together. Tell Tim Pinehurst in September..He's booked! Love you all---Ed
Having shared the same wonderful mom and coutnless times having been on the receiving end of her love and generosity, we know that you have the absolute best right there with you, Tam and Tim. Mom, you have such a beautiful heart and we love and appreciate you so much! Proud to be your 'kids.'
Love, Brent, Kim & boys
Truly God could not be everywhere so he sent us mothers! What a wonderful reflection of the Lord.
My prayers to all!
As Scott & I have kept in touch with Tim & Tam from the very beginning of this battle, I have been amazed at the level of strength that Tim, Tam & now Mrs "C" have approached this situation.
Each of you have "stepped up to the plate" in an admirable fashion!
AMBER:
Do you remember the time that you took this former "catholic girl" aside to explain the gifts of tongues & interpretation before the 1st time that I stepped foot in an AG church?
The mom in you is always ready to jump into action! And...in the words of someone (famous?): YOU GO GIRL!

What can I say. I have the same wonderful mother-in-law that Tim has. I have been in the family for 32 years [wow!]. Amber has always been there for us. She is a very special lady. Jim and I are so blessed.
Tim, hang in there. Gos is giving you supernatural strength to make it through these next few days. Praying and believing.
