We were reminded this year how precious each day is and I am so thankful to be spending another day on earth next to my love even if it’s in a hospital room far from home.
We are blown away by our friends and family offering to hop on flights to come help us without hesitation. All of that overpowers the awfulness of this situation. While this absolutely sucks in the moment and for some weeks to come, we are completely overwhelmed by the love and support we have far and wide and are very aware how blessed we are.
My heart breaks for my husband because I know the work and dedication that he puts into his training everyday and the great man that he is, so I only want the best for him. Everything went well thank you Lord! Very thankful for the medical staff, UFC family #allieraimondo, our management team and our family and friends here rallying to help with the kids.
