Today I found an envelope on my doorstep. Those of you who were involved will know what was in it, but it is without a doubt the most beautiful thing that anyone has ever done for me. I feel so humbled and undeserving - I know you all have your own lives, and your own things to consider, so knowing that you took time out from that to think of me is overwhelming. I have been howling my eyes out all afternoon!
I will keep the beads safe with me until our wee babe arrives, and I know that they will give me strength on the bad days. I've PMed those of you who put your names on your notes, but I suspect there may have been others involved who didn't give their names, so please consider this my deepest thank you. I am blessed, so totally blessed on so many levels, to have such amazing friends, and such amazing support that it extends even to those who I haven't met in real life. The internet truly is a wonderful thing. Hugs and thanks, Emma PS. In true gremlin style, while I was reading the lovely notes, the small furry creatures were redistributing the contents of an entire box of tissues on the lounge floor. Oh the irony!  -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Yep you totally deserve it!
and I apologise if my note made NO sense. I hope it did at least relay the basic idea but I was soo spaced out with a cold I've had a sneaky suspicion ever since that it was a garbled mess. -------------

Guilty here too - went off to Sydney and totally forgot to send mine - if you want to add it now (if you can) can still send it to you...
Otherwise I really was thinking of you and I hope the special gift (the beads for all who don't know) cheered you up and let you know that you are thought of and even though some you have never met have a place in their heart to wish you well... also those who have met you etc.... ------------- Ann

For all of those who are in the dark - we wanted to give Emma something from all of her friends to remind her on those bad days, that she's not alone
Amy did a fantastic job putting the beads in order so that the bracelet turned out just right ------------- http://lilypie.com">
