Grateful Goodell Family!

As Robynn and I were Celebrating our 11th Anniversary Saturday, we were sitting on a balcony overlooking the Napa Valley when we looked at each and said we didn’t think we would see this day. We then went on to reflect on the many wonderful things we have been able to do, so many thing we never thought possible:

we celebrated our Godsons Baptism on Robynn’s Birthday/Easter
we celebrated our most meaningful Mothers Day ever
we were there when Hailey Graduated from Kindergarten,
we were at nearly all of the kids Baseball games
we’ve had family vacations to Halfmoon Bay, Houston Tx, and Punta de Mita Mexico
we Celebrated Brady’s 9th Birthday
we watched Brady throw out the 1st pitch at the Rivercats game
we saw Hailey make her Runway debut at Mamaraderie
we saw the start of a new school year at Our Lady of Grace
we watched Hailey start a new soccer season
Robynn has been able to rejoin the Girls for Bunco and Friday morning coffee

and the list goes on, because the fact is everything we are experiencing now was never thought possible it is all a blessing, a Miracle and only possible by the Grace of God!

I know you all pretty much know everything I have listed but the reason I did was to remind you all of the wonderful things YOU ALL have helped us achieve. Your kind words, your supportive emails and texts, your comments on the blogs, your attendance at the fundraisers and blood drives, and most of all the unending prayers you send up to our most Incredible Lord are what has helped Robynn and the Goodell Family get to where we are today. I can never thank you all individually (though I wish I could) and I can never begin to thank you enough, but please know that I am truly Grateful for what you have done for my Beautiful Bride of now 11years and 1 day and my family. You have given Hope, Love, Support, Kindness, Selflessness and so much more when it seemed that all was lost. I know Robynn is an inspiration to us all, but know YOU ALL are an inspiration to us!

My Uncle Sonny said (long before it was a book title or a campaign slogan) “It Takes a Village!” and for so many things it does take a Village, especially Fighting Cancer. Thank you all for being the most incredible Village/Army anyone could have ever wished for you all are incredible.

Last I want to Thank You for taking on the many special requests that have been placed on the Blog. We have seen what your prayers and support have done for so many people and I know they are all Grateful! Please continue to Raise Up Baby Jonah, his mom and dad (Scott & Amy) and all of their family. I know your kind words and encouragement have helped Robynn and I know they’ll do the same for the Goodman family! You can check in on them at http://www.jonahscott.blogspot.com/

One last thing promise, there are a couple of great songs I wanted to pass on from YouTube: Stand Up For Cancer had a fabulous theme song "Don't Give Up Just Stand Up!" that is really worth listening to. Here's the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S47HSgvhneA&feature=related I believe you can also go to Itunes to purchase with procedes going to the fight against cancer.

I also wanted to pass on Callahans motivational song written and performed specifically for Robynn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY_600tqZIk I know many have seen this, but this is something worth revisiting. It has done so much for us, if you remember this song was given to Robynn that terrible week in April when things were at their worst. Look how far Robynn has come since then. Thank you Cal!

God Bless You All and Keep You Safe!

Robynns Adoring Husband!
