“I will take the tears, I will take the pain, I will take the times where I don’t know what to do and there’s no answers…if I know along with that, there will be nights outside with people you love, with twinkle lights and making toasts, and hugs and tears. That if I know I can have that…I will sign up for it all.”

This trip was such a beautiful one! To visit Ali all those years ago when she first started the Western Carolina UP Proram. and to see how that experience has helped her get to where she is today along with the help and support of family and friends…well, it makes my heart SO HAPPY!!! And I am so encouraged by it all!!! And as Kelle says…YES! Sign me up for it ALL!!
