"Courage is grace under pressure" – Ernest Hemingway

I strongly believe that we are all destined for something. Whether it's something big that affects a lot of people or something smaller that affects a few but makes an impact on them. I trust that everyone we meet and who comes into our lives are there for a reason to teach us something about life or ourselves.

I had casually known Enna on Facebook through mutual friends since earlier this year; we even were FitBit friends encouraging one another to take more steps towards a healthier us. It wasn't until Enna reached out to me about Bennett, her oldest being sick that I realized what impact she and her family would have on me.

What can I say about this family without getting overly emotional, they are simply incredible. Not only are Enna and Vitaliy loving, supportive parents but they are also huge supporters of those that also need help and support, hearts of gold and strength of 100 lions.

In a span of a month I had seen and worked with this family three times. Each time seeing the interaction melted my heart.

There are people who walk into our lives and leave a mark on our hearts and this is how I feel about this remarkable family.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of these special moments for you.
