Our Surprise Squad segment aired recently on one of our local news stations, and wow—although I knew they’d do a great job, the final video truly blew me away. It brought me, and so many others, to tears. Watching it all come together was emotional in the best way, and I’m still processing how beautifully they captured our journey.
Over the past few months, Kay and I have been incredibly blessed. So many wonderful things have unfolded, and honestly, it’s hard to put into words the depth of gratitude I feel. Sometimes life feels like a whirlwind, but this moment—this story—felt like a pause to reflect and celebrate how far we’ve come.
It all started when a local news anchor discovered Kay’s story. From there, things took off in ways I never could have imagined. I was even able to connect with the station before they finalized the segment to share the exciting update that Kay has been matched with her diabetic alert dog, Maeve, and that we now have a timeline for when she’ll be coming home!
Throughout the editing process, the team kept in touch regularly—asking thoughtful questions, requesting more photos, and even asking for little stories behind each one. It wasn’t just about putting a piece together; it was about honoring Kay’s journey and sharing her light in the most genuine way. They highlighted not just the hard moments she’s faced, but how she’s risen stronger every single time.
To say I’m honored to have our story featured is an understatement. I’m amazed at how quickly everything is coming together, and I’m so proud to share Kay’s journey not only with the news station—but with all of you.
