Well March is finally here! That means snow is going to melt, and I like that. Sorry to all of you people who love the snow - I’m more of the spring, summer, and fall group.

Judy and I want to thank all of you who have been sending in your pledge cards. Your monthly support is vital to our moving forward with the purchase of the land and the ongoing costs of SAM.

By the way, many people have asked again about where we got Choco. We got him from Sandy, and you can see her website at www.tailswagon.com

Judy and I want to invite you to check out our March newsletter too. I’ve uploaded a copy of an article that was done by our hometown newspaper regarding SAM. We also had an article done by the St. Cloud Times newspaper and two weeks ago we were on a one hour radio program out of St. Cloud, MN. So our name is getting out more and more.

We are also beginning to hear more from parents who have had a child die. Judy and I realize the incredible need for SAM with every phone call or email we receive. Our hearts break for the pain those moms and dads are experiencing over the loss of their child. Someone asked us recently if this is painful for us? Well, to some extent it is. Other people’s losses remind us of our loss. But we also are reminded of God’s grace in helping us deal with our pain. Not only that, Judy and I simply don’t want parents to have to go through their excruciating pain thinking there isn’t anyone else who understands.
