When the opportunity came up to attend the IOH NYC retreat in November I was very hesitant. I had mixed feelings about attending because I felt that our family didn't fit into the "typical family" category. From the moment we got off the plane in NY we were surrounded by the most loving and compassionate group of people that I have ever known. Someone was always there to help if needed and they did everything possible to make the retreat a relaxing and enjoyable experience (and loads of fun) !! The organization and all who are a part of it are true examples of God's love.
