Thank you to everyone who has taken part in Jen's robe (with pictures, find your phrase!)

Question

Dear Forum Members,

I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your overwhelming response to the project to send Jen a robe from all of us to let her know how much we love her. You folks gave me a ton of work to do, and I counted it all pure joy because you took the time to reach into your hearts and find words to give Jen....powerful words....encouraging words.

And isn't that ultimately why we are here on SpanishDict...it is to give us the words in a language new to us. It expands our world to include millions upon millions of other people who we otherwise could not understand face to face....or heart to heart.

But signing the robe is only the beginning. In signing it, you have become Jen's support system...no longer only virtual, but now real. Please continue your thoughts and prayers for Jen today and every day. Take a minute or two now and then to leave just a short personal message for her. Nothing fancy...nothing long...just enough to let her know that she is not invisible just because she's out of sight, nor forgotten because she is confined to her home.

I love you all, and thank you for the privilege of entrusting me with Jen's Robe.

This is Cathy with her dogs, who have helped her with this job

If I had known that Gil was taking this picture I would have cleaned up my family room. You can see my 3 little mascots with me. - Echoline, Sep 18, 2010

I call them "my merry band of idiots" ( of which I'm the chief one). The dog in the open crate is Spot. She is my seizure alert dog. The dog whose face/body you see is her son, Mister, in training to be my next service dog. - Echoline, Sep 18, 2010

The lower right hand corner is just the head of Mister's aunt, Dawn. The whole troop of them rarely leave my side. - Echoline, Sep 18, 2010

I also would have colored my hair, combed it, put on makeup and worn something cuter! - Echoline, Sep 18, 2010

Answer 11

I would like to add that I have posted all those pictures on my facebook account, so that I could post them here.

I also posted one of them with the story and Cathy¡s name on Alvite's wall where I got these comments, I would like to share

This was my comment:

Heidita Española Con esta bata se "envuelve" en todos los sentimientos dulces y buenos de la gente..ojalá le sirva para mejorar pronto

Personas a las que les gusta

Jose Luis Rey-alvite

Pepi Blanes

Isabel Bravo Prado

Juan Manuel Boza

These are the comments:

Isa Cava Macias Ojala, mi firma no esta en esa bata pero desde aqui quiero hacerle llegar un fuerte abrazo.

Jose Luis Caballero Sabino que se recupere pronto,y un abrazo muy fuerte,desde miranda de ebro con mucho cariño

Perhaps these folks can be made honorary members and Jen's mom can add their messages. How nice of them. Jen is reaching people everywhere! - Echoline, Sep 18, 2010

Answer 14

Cathy, thank you so much for doing this. It has been so great to see everyone pull together in support for Jen and your project has been the heart of this effort. I have enjoyed getting to know you a little better. What a wonderful passion you have for helping people that need it and for their support groups. You have surely blessed many people by your work and I thank you for letting us be a part of Jen's Robe. We will be reminded of her with the cards that we put everywhere and she will have the robe with our sentiments.You have certainly come up with a winning idea and I truly thank you for having it.

To Jen. I love you and miss you so much I think about you everyday. I can't wait until you are back here with us and feeling well again. Be strong and fight. Come back soon. Love, Sandy
