While Sarah was busy helping Donald Trump forge ahead to win the Republican nomination for president, Todd expressed his gratitude: "I can't thank you guys enough. The past few weeks showed us it's not just family circling the wagons; I don't think we'd ever realized that before. People out there who are hurting a hundred times worse than I was can use our prayers and any kind gesture. Maybe I can only repay by offering the same to you."

"In our 35 years, I've never seen the guy have to literally hold still, sit down, and take a (winced) breath. And I've never seen Todd so touched by the kindness shown during difficult days," Sarah wrote about her husband. Todd added, "It's overwhelming and I'm not worthy of these well-wishes. I wish I could repay people for caring. Makes me want to do more for others, especially when they're down and out. Maybe that's part of the purpose in all this."
