Hi this is Mike Goeller.

This is our first blog post. We’ve been intending to add one to the site for a while, but then got busy (real busy) serving customers and dealing with the unexpected things of life.

So It’s December first (2015) and Austria and I find ourselves sitting at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus

Laith at 6 days old

Ohio as our Son recovers from open heart surgery. This is our Son’s fourth surgical operation. You see last January our Son was diagnosed, at 32 weeks prenatal, with a Critical Aortic Stenosis leading to Hypo-plastic Left Heart

Syndrome (HLHS). He fully progressed to have HLHS, and had his first open heart operation at 3 days old.

Oh and did I mention that we sold our condo as he was being born, then moved in with Austria’s parents while we looked for a home large enough to fit us all? We found a new

Laith with  Grams pre-op

home, it’s a fixer upper, but the neighborhood is right. So when we get back we should be moving into our new home (and the renovations will continue).

Being a small Mom and Pop operation this has really limited what we could do this year. Through the spring season we were in the hospital for a little over 2 months. Brightview Cleaning was receiving about 50 calls a day and it was impossible to keep up. We tried to call everyone back, but with spotty internet at the hospital

and doctors and nurses coming in every 20 minutes it was near impossible.

Steve Araya our lead guy did an amazing job holding down the fort through the spring. In September Steve and his

wife Lauren got some amazing news. They had set the goal of doing missionary work. They

were accepted in to the School for Kingdom Evangelizers and attended for the last 2 months, and have been assigned to a different area of the country.

I’m glad that we were able to help contribute, all be it a in a small way to Steve and Lauren reaching their goals. We wish them the best in their in the new assignment. Steve will be

sorely missed at Brightview Cleaning.

So we are regrouping this winter to come out rocking in the spring. If you have tried to contact us for service and we have been slow to respond we sincerely apologize. We are working to fix this, and should be on top of our game again by the start of the spring season. We appreciate your understanding, and we truly appreciate your business.

We are wishing you and your family’s well in the year to come.

Sincerely,

Mike Goeller
