Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving Day!! 🦃💙 May your day be filled with love, fun, and lots of good food! 😍 We love you all!! 💙 Team Dynamite Special note from Jen: Thanksgiving Day is a day dedicated for giving thanks. I want to take this opportunity to express my thankfulness and gratitude. I am eternally thankful and grateful for Liam's Lighthouse Foundation (LLF) and everyone who has helped get Dynamites to our Histio Warriors and Angel Families. Michelle Schulze, Founder of LLF; Amanda & Eric Majusiak, along with the entire LLF team, and every single one of you have a very special place in my heart. Dynamite would not be where he is today without all of you!! Thank you all so very much!!💙🥰 With Love, Jen A few months ago, I was invited to attend Sobi’s Annual Employee conference in Nashville, TN, as a guest speaker to share Liam’s story. There was no doubt in my mind I needed to do this and was so honored to be asked to do so, but to say I was nervous was an understatement. I was terrified. Not only do I not like speaking in front of large groups of people, I didn't know how I was going to be able to speak out loud about Liam's journey to such a large group. Would I be physically and emotionally able to do it?! I got through it (I believe with the help of a little angel) and I am so glad I did it. The feeling I felt afterwards was one of great accomplishment. If I were to die tomorrow, I feel content in knowing that I made a difference by sharing Liam’s story and honoring his fight. It's a different kind of accomplishment than raising thousands of dollars with the help of so many and supporting our mission. It's a far deeper accomplishment. I cannot give him a hug or tell him face to face how much I love him and how proud I am of him. But doing things like this is how I continue to show my LOVE for him. Thank you, Sobi, for this amazing opportunity to educate others and to honor our son. And the biggest thank you of all to my mom for supporting me through it all!
