Rodney, you said it all here:
"The distance in miles between us does not mean there is a distance from my
heart ."
You've done much. Contine to do as you can, when you can...
And, most importantly, continue to love your brothern as you love yourself.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank all 'Heads across various ponds and
borders for their love and support as we Amerkins (did I spell it rite,
Doug?) suffer through this/these trying times. I've cried many a tear over
the love and support I've read here and I cannot thank you all enough for
your support and sympathy.
I want to commend my brothers and sisters across the pond in the UK - PLEASE
DO NOT THINK I'M SLIGHTING THE REST OF YOU!!! - for Tony Blair's words on
Wednesday. That the UK would "stand shoulder to shoulder" with us. I
bawled my eyes out.
In the midst of such devistation, someone - Tony - was with us, and I didn't
feel so befret. I felt that he truly understood that this was not just
against the US, but against mankind. As I cried I said, "Bless you Tony,
BLESS YOU."
Thank you all for being loving friends. We here, in Amerika, need you now
more than ever. Bless you. Bless you. Bless you. Thank you all so much.
You will never know what it means to me, and the rest of America. We're so
lucky to have good friends like you.
May the gods be with us all.
love,
green

Subject: [CH] Heartfelt Bestwishes
The number of times I have started this letter over the past few days
are many. Hopefully it makes sence this time. After the reality sank in
that what happened to your wonderful country was real I almost lost hope
for the human race. It proves that there is a God though. Without God
there is no Satan and only ones blinded by his evil could perpetrate
such an act.
The grief that is felt now lies heavy upon my heart as well. Every time
I travel to America I have been welcomed with open arms by the
friendliest and most open people in the world. Your joy , willingness to
laugh and love won my affection immediately. To see something like this
happen to a Nation like yours has left me stunned . The closest thing I
can say is I have a hole in my soul. I have given blood, made a donation
to the Red Cross yet somehow it is not enough. Can anyone let me know if
there are any shortages ; i.e. medical supplies bottled water anything
at all I will do my best to see you get it.
I pray for all of you that God's will be done and guide us all through
these times that so darken the start of the21st century.
Is there a memorial site where people are leaving flowers and cards?
Does anyone want to organize one from all of us? Let me know and a Money
order will be in the mail.
I live in southwestern Ontario so I am not far from the border. The
distance in miles between us does not mean there is a distance from my
heart . It overwhelmes me to think of how many families are devistated
through this.
There is a lot of pepper related news in my life this week yet I had to
write this first . Yours Truly
