This "Thankful" post is a layup. There's really ONLY ONE person I can write about, and it is the incomparable Peggy Bucher. "Mom" "Grandma" "Mom B" (that's mine from a hard-to-shake-still hip hop phase growing up) or just "amazing friend" - no matter what you call her personally, you also likely call her the HARDEST WORKING, MOST DEDICATED, most selfless and remarkable human being you've ever met.
All you see here at Hidden Oak. ALL. OF. IT. is Peggy. She labored hours and hours, days and days, filling in all the skill gaps I don't dare dream of possessing to make sure the facility was gorgeous for 2025.
She, as always, knocked it out of the park.
Her dedication is admirable. Her talent is immense. But her love. Her unyielding selfless LOVE for us is hard to even type without tearing up...
Yup. Had to take a break ;) Pheww..
Mom, we love you. We are so so so thankful for you and have NO IDEA how any of this would work without you. We get to live OUR dream because of your unflinching ability to dream with, and FOR us, with equal intensity (and amplified effort!!).
"Thankful" ain't enough. But we are gonna try to tell you enough times to make a dent in the "what we owe you" bucket ;) You're the best. We pray we can help make Hidden Oak Manor a worthy testament to your effort, sacrifice and unending love...
With love - Chris & Shanda ;)
