They have always been willing to meet new friends, attend cookouts, and stay late and enjoy cocktails.  They have friends in every Stapleton borough, and enjoying having people over to their place for drinks and dinner.  So, when they had their first child Chloe three years ago, it was not surprising that friends stepped up to support them.\n\u201cYour first child is so hard,\u201d said friend of the Gills Brittni Elmer.  \u201cSo, I did what so many Stapleton residents do for each other.  I started a meal train.\u201d  Brittni sent the invite to eight people initially, and it just grew from there.  \u201cI received it from Brittni, and then sent it on to ten other friends that I knew would be excited to help the Gills out,\u201d said Sarah Hirota.  \u201cI mean, you definitely don\u2019t want to be the person that doesn\u2019t join the meal train for the Gills.\u201d\n<!--more-->\nAlthough thoughtful, the long-running meal train has had some negative impacts on the Gills.  \u201cWe have been out to eat maybe four times in the last three years,\u201d said Kirk.  \u201cIt is extremely thoughtful what people have done, and we have lots of leftovers, but it may be time for this train to make its last stop so to speak.\u201d  \u201cWe are overwhelmed with the love and support of our neighbors and friends,\u201d says Jamie.  \u201cBut Chloe is three now, so there are probably other families that need it more.\u201d\nFamilies who have not yet joined the meal train for the Gills, you can sign up at <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/?p=531\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.mealtrain.com\/stapletongills<\/a>.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[96],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2727","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-39","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2727\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
