She said that a neighbor has also been taking the family’s daughters to and from school during the past week.
"Thank you for being there and helping with Arik when I need a break. The statement (it takes a village) is a understatement these days. We couldn’t do this without every one of you helping us out each and every day when we needed it," Megan Matson said in the post.
She added, "Every situation in life is temporary. So when life is good make sure you enjoy and receive it fully! And when life is not so good, remember that it will not last forever."
