MORGHEN - Queen Creek, AZ

Morghen and Juliann

 

Before any more of this trip passes by, I need to recognize an integral part of our crew.  Morghen is so many things to our family...a dear friend, a nanny, a supporter, a shoulder to cry on, and a partner in crime on this cross country expedition.  She has willingly accepted the challenges that this next year will surely bring.

Morghen was a family friend of ours prior to Andrew's passing.  In fact, Andrew had a very unique and dear relationship with Morghen as well as her mother and younger brother.  Andrew adored Morghen and her family, and we have since made her a part of ours.

When tragedy befell our family, Morghen reached out immediately to see what our needs were.  She wanted us to know we were being thought of and assist in any way she may be able.  Although I didn't know up from down at that time, and couldn't possibly conjure up enough of a thought process to think of how I could best utilize her willingness to help, she found a way that has blessed our family in abundance.

When the children and I relocated in January of 2014 we faced a whole new set of challenges that we hadn't yet known while surrounded by a village of family and friends in Prescott.  The load was heavy and the loneliness debilitating.  Often times I would long for an adult to talk to and someone to understand just how much sadness I was experiencing at a given moment.  Certain moments arose where I thought...if I weren't to wake up...would anyone even know?

Morghen came to live with the kids and I as a fulltime nanny in October of 2014.  Since that time, we have come to love her deeply, drive her batty, and sing her praises.  She is an incredible blessing to our family.  She has curbed the loneliness and is always there to listen, encourage, and love.

Thank you Morg for making this trip possible.  Thank you for all of the things that are acknowledged and the many things that may seem to go unnoticed.  You are a pillar of strength and a beacon of light in the darkness...a true friend.
