Well, needless to say we have begun "packing up". I feel like a 5 year old waiting for Christmas-ironically I am a 38 year old waiting for Christmas to be over so I can go home.... crazy.
In packing things up I came across my little black and white box of positive energy. While I've been here I have kept every card, gift, note, email etc.. and whenever I feel down I go to my box and read all of your notes. I can't help but feel better. It is amazing. You are all so amazing!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I don't know how I will ever Thank all of you enough. It means the world to me...
At the Hutch School (where David & Dominic attend here in Seattle) there is a central theme "What Cancer Cannot Do" and the kids keep in mind all that cancer cannot take away. I could not help but think what cancer can do-It has brought so much to my life that I never would have known. It has brought family together, friends in touch, new friends & relationships. I know it has brought more good than bad. My Mom, Husband & Sister-they are so faithful and constant-it brings tears to my eyes...
I love you guys.
I will be paying it forward!!!

Jen,
ReplyDeleteYou sound terrific! We all can't wait to have you back in Philly. You have been incredible through this entire process. You have already paid it forward by demonstrating such courage and grace during a terrible time. You are someone for us all to look up to.

You and Dave have been paying it forward for as long as I have known you and we are all looking forward to your return.

Who would have thought that packing could be so much fun!! It has been a remarkable journey for all of you. I second what everyone has said - you're amazing and a hero to all of us. Can't wait to have you all back in Philly. Bowling and beers at Facenda Whitaker when you return! Merry Christmas! The Murphy's
ReplyDeleteDear Jen,
ReplyDeleteI love what you wrote, I love how you always bring reality into my life. I love how you make me look at things in a new way. I love how you turn my mind around. I miss you. I went into my mail box yesterday and I cried. You are my angel. I wrote you on Facebook last night, it was late, I spelled your name wrong! I'm so thankful we were brought together. I'm so glad for that night we "bumped" into each other at the concert. I still have you and Dave's picture in my living room. I look at your picture that you just sent and I know what a real realtionship is.... you bring me more than you'll ever know. I love you Jen. Merry Christmas my true friend. xo
