I am so grateful...

Kimmer, wow! What beautiful writing!! I honestly can not add any more than the others have contributed. But everyone here is right -- this is the absolute best group for support, care, prayers, and motherly advice (and since I miss my mom so, I really appreciate all of the motherly advice!). In just a few short weeks, I feel so close to so many of you -- it's not that often that a group just gels and bonds so quickly -- it's amazing to me! Now before I join in on the 'boo-hoo' fest, I will close. Just know that you are all in my prayers, and not too many minutes pass in a day when I don't think about this wonderful community of the Marvelous Marchers! Hugs to all, -Marcie

Kimmer, You have been a true inspiration to me. Your hummor, your prayers, your advice and friendship have become a source of comfort to me. I look forward to your posts and replies. I value your input and treasure you. Thank you so much for your kind words. All of us Marchers are so enriched to have gotten to know you. You will be in my constant prayers until I know that everything has gone OK and you are well on the road to recovery. Then, I will celebrate your triumphs and comfort you during the hard times (as you have done for us all). Get some well deserved rest dear Kimmer and we will see you again on the losing side. Love Ya, Whitney Angels Lori and Va Angelettes: Lori and Va

Hey Kimmer, Wow! Girl! talk about eloquent!!! Sometimes I feel like you and Dina climb in my brain!! Sometimes she's says the things I kept myself from saying but needed to be said. Then you turn around and say the things I've thought and felt but couldn't or didn't take the time to say. I know you'll be great tomorrow and Cathy will keep us updated regularly, you've got one class act of an there!! Have a nice tomorrow, we'll all be waiting to welcome you to Newpouch!!

Kimmer, I will hold you in my thoughts tomorrow as we begin the next part of this journey together. Thank you for sending out the branch in all that chaos. You are all beautiful people!! The kind and understanding words have made this time waiting fly by!! See ya on the losers side of the hill!!!! Jen T

O.K. Kimmer, now you went and did it. Joy gives me this pep talk to keep me 'up' during meltdown tme, and now you have me in tears. However, they are tears of tenderness, tears of joy in getting to know you, tears of love for what you are and what you stand for. For me you have been a rock, someone I can say in all honesty I totally respect and admire. You have touched my heart in a way that very few people are allowed to enter. It is truly amazing how people can bond and enter into a friendship that will last a lifetime, I perfer to call it a miracle, a gift from the Holy Spirit. I admire your faith and how you are not afraid to express that faith. Kimmer you are truly one remarkable person, one I am proud to call friend. Can you even imagine how we will be when we all gather for a one year reunion? That will be one special day, one that I am looking forward to already. I will close in telling you that I will be praying fervently for you, but you already know that. You also know that you are in His hands, so everything will go better than ever anticiapated. Love to you my Fellow Marcher and Friend, Da Judge

How DO you do that girl????!!!! You have just said everything I have been thinking and feeling for the last few weeks since I found this wonderful family here. I agree with everything you said and I don't think anyone could have said it different. I have been blessed to have "met" each one of you here and my life will forever be changed by the friendships that have been made here. I will be praying for you Kimmer and for everyone having surgery this month. You will have a great day tomorrow entering the LOSING side of this journey. I will join you on that side on Thursday!!!!

Kimmer, Isn't amazing the peace you find when you know that you know that you know you are craddled in the everloving arms of our Lord and Saviour. I too get that peace and I am praying that the Lord show you favor in your surgery and your recovery period. I have to be painfully honest here...I know that when I came to this board I was not sure if I want to post or not...you people were way to silly at times. Little did I know that I would be just as silly in order to deal with the stress that no matter how prepared and prayed up you are still finds it's way in. I am grateful for each and every quirky and crazy thing you have offered up to me in order to give me comfort. You are truely a blessing sent to cross my path from God above. Funny how someone you have never met can touch your life in such an important way. I will be in prayer for ya and can't wait to hear from ya on the losing side of life. Take care of you.
