A Message From Tiffany And Chloe
The following is a message from Tiffany to all of the TACP community and people that lent a hand during this time of need.
“Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat upon a chair
Perhaps you sent us beautiful flowers, if so we saw them there.
Perhaps you gave a gift to Chloe, to help with all her care
Grateful for the thought of knowing you cared so much and your willingness to share.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words that any friend could say
Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you very much.”
-Tiffany Smith 2 Feb, 2010-
The generosity and kindness that everyone has shown to us has left me speechless. Thank you seems so inadequate for the time, effort, gifts, and words that everyone has given. Please know that we are so thankful from the bottom of our hearts. Chloe lost her Daddy but has gained so many new Aunts and Uncles. I hope that no one will have to go through this and hope for the safety of all those who enter the battle over seas.
May you fight with all you have, but not have to give your all. Brad would have been blown away by the support from his fellow TACP’s, Friends, Family, Airman and complete strangers. I will never forget the support we have received. While nothing can bring Brad back home to us, you all have helped me keep waking up every morning hopeful that my future will become bright once more.
I have cried on many of your shoulders, laughed with you at the memories of Brad, and depended on you to be strong for me and for Chloe, and for that I am forever grateful. My life seems to be in pieces right now but you all have helped me to start to put them back together… one by one. I have a long road ahead of me but with all of you as a part of my new family I know I will eventually be able to breathe again.
