With much heartfelt thought, I write these words.

What can be said but thank you all.
You rallied to my request when I sent out the notice to come to help.
Some of you did not even know what it was all about.
You were my friends and I needed you, that was all it took.
You sent your emails and we all held hands together.
Oh my, as I write these words, my tears well up for me.
I have not met you and yet you are my buddies, my cyber family.
Even if the security issues are not resolved, I have learned so much.
I have learned that Chan was not the only one who was hit by
Pirates. I feel badly that anyone had pieces of themselves robbed.
All these people know how much we all care about them. What a
Wonderful gift that is for them.
I appreciate you all so much. I am proud to call you friends!
For those who determined my request did not fit well, you needed to
Determine what was best for you. This was a free will idea. Everyone
Needs to think for themselves. I acknowledge that.

    Heart felt words, I am so happy to be here with you all, I have always wanted to write, but never felt anyone would like my stuff, you have all changed my mind and I hope we’ve all done the same for you all, keep writing and doing what you love, no matter what.

    I am so sorry to hear that you went through the same troubles as CHAN and many others. May you and your loved ones be sent limitless blessings.

    Best wishes.

    Sincerely,

    -Liane Schmidt.

    Liane, No I was not robbed as the others were! I just felt the best thing to do for friends that need help and ask for it, is to take the bull by the horns as if it is happening to me. That is why it might sound like pirates took my material too, when no one did that to me.

    Very true, Roberta! I think our minds run very much the same direction. I said a couple of weeks ago that since I have started “working” with other people at Triand, I feel like part of a family; it’s a very good feeling.

  • Deborah on Dec 15, 2008

    Wow, I learned a lot here. Thank you Roberta!
