Thumbs up THANK YOU Katie and the Creative Team

Bekah received the Halloween goodies basket you sent yesterday, and despite it being a really rough day, Sharlah says there was a smile. Sometimes that's all you can ask for when a child is so down. I know your gift meant as much to Sharlah (and Rich when he arrives and sees it) as it did to Bekah.



I have a dear friend, who is very very artistic, but uber fluttery when it comes to computers and all things electrical. I have told her about various on-line communities and how it brings tears to my eyes when I think about how people all over the world can share your joy and feel your pain. I think my friend now 'gets it' tho she can't get her brain to work with her fingers to do it. We're all gifted in our own ways. Many years ago I heard that "A joy shared is doubled and a pain shared is halved." I know from my own experience that is very very true.

Thank you all so much for helping to cutt our family pain into manageable bites. Love and gratitude. Maureen

Thanks, Maureen, for sharing Bekah's story with all of the DD family. Love is a powerful force and there is a lot of it coming your way and towards Bekah and her family there.
