A humble thank you to DU
I don't even know what to write, I am so overwhelmed by the generosity of the DU community, and not just with currency but with the love and kindness you all have shown to me and my sister Jill. That people, who for all intents and purposes are strangers, are willing to help someone in need from across the globe just amazes me. I can never thank you all enough.

Markus, Pig and I were a family. Now they are both gone and I feel so very alone and scared about what is going to happen to me and all the love and support the DU community has given me has helped me feel a little less alone in this world. That people are keeping me in their hearts and sending good vibes, hugs, prayers, whatever, makes my pain a little easier to carry.

A very special thank you to my big sister of the heart, Dystopian, for all your strength, wisdom, love and kindness. You are a beautiful soul my friend and I will hold you in my heart always.

With the humblest of gratitude, I thank the DU community. You are an amazing bunch of people.

3. We love you.
We're here for you, whatever you need.
Some of us can give money, some of us can only give emotional support. Either way, please know that we care.

11. We have your back here on DU, feel free to PM or just post when you need to
The least we can do is give words of encouragement/advice/listen/etc for you.

A BIG hug for you. I hope better days are ahead of these ones for you.

20. You are golden....
Yes, we will forever be sisters of the heart...
You have given me strength, love and more....
I know there is no monetary value to be placed on all that we have shared.
I understand how difficult is was for you to accept my offer to post your needs...
DU is beautiful....
I am thankful that Jill can stay a bit longer...
I only wish that I could hug you...hold you...
Maybe someday....

You will survive....
You are loved...

I also thank all of the beautiful souls who are DU...
My thanks to Skinner who immediately replied to my request...
Immediately.

Shine on, Dear One...I love you.
Shine on, precious DUers....Your love is making the world a better place...

We are all as one...

Love and heartfelt thanks to all~

22. Somewhere along the line
I missed Dys' thread, but I am glad to know that enough people were around to hold you up during this time when you've so needed it.

It's gonna be a long road, sweetie. Know you have people here who feel for what you are going through and are there to help you keep moving along that road. Just think of yourself as an emotional hitchhiker right now, and let whoever will help you reach your next destination when you need it.

:hi:

Oh, and as for Dys, you could definitely have worse support, but few can offer better, I imagine. ;)

23. Another Kand R....I just got on my computer and will look for the address to send a check
I wish it could be a lot more than it will be, but hopefully a lot of people sending small ( or not so small) amounts will add up. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Probably right in front of me but I'm too sleepy to have noticed it....

31. Thank you
We have sent thank you emails to everyone who have donated to help Jill stay with me here in Germany. Unfortunately, four or five came back as undeliverable so if you didn't get a thank you from Jill that is the reason why.
