Oct.3, 2013 6 months Fresh Ribbons

Facebook Post:  I pulled into my neighborhood after work today to pink ribbons tied in the trees, tied to mailboxes, and a decorated porch.  Fresh ribbons to replace the tattered and worn ribbons from 6 months ago. Thank you to my friends and neighbors who continue to show your support for us and your love for Gracie.

What we were really feeling:  PANIC when I first drove in.  What are people going to say, especially those who won't know what they are for?  Is it really support or are people blaming us at this point.  I called Jeremy to warn him.  He said he would rather have this than the opposite.  In other words, he would rather have people continue to show public support than ignore and blame us.  This calmed me down and helped me be able to feel the love and support....although I was still concerned that people would think it was some type of breast cancer awareness and feared the explanation of one neighbor to the next.
