I am having such a wonderful time with my mom. She stayed with me after the fundraiser. She has a doctor appointment on the 15th. I am alittle concerned for this one...I know her illness has really progressed since her last visit....I'll update later on..

a letter from vicki

Dear Kirk Family

You are taking a horrific situation and turning it into something beautiful. You are an inspiration to me and to the other people who are making this journey with you. Thank you so much for inviting us to join you. It is an honor to be included among your friends.

I realize that all of you wanted “Hope”. I don’t know how I happened to win that raffle because I rarely do. “Hope” is amazing, Linda - she is one of your best. I don’t know how you did it. I am including a photo of me in my Blue Shirt, holding “Hope”. I promise to take very good care of her. She is precious.

The second photo is of Hope’s Hug, made up of Linda Bears that I have collected through the years. Do they look familiar? I have several more Linda Bears that couldn’t be included in this photo. Linda, you are still my very favorite Teddy Bear Artist.

This letter and photos may be added to your “Hope For Linda” website, if you chose to include them.

Thank you Kirk Family.

Love and Hugs,

Vicki Dewbre

the best night

the night of the fundraiser we all went to a park and read a letter to mom. It was very emotional but we got through it. We were able to tell her how special she is to us. I made a whole new blog made of the letters we wrote. You can see how much she means to us in these letters.. It was an amazing night that we will never forget.

The fundraiser was a HUGE success!! We raised more than double what we were hoping for! Here are some pictures from the day...
