Friends who are so far apart find it difficult to help when the sweetest, gentlest people are in need. How we of open hearts wish we were near: to hug, and smile and tell our Catie-Did we care. How we too are quite alone and wish she’d write to us. How long the nights are and the days. When all we’d wish for is a sunny smile like Catie’s to brighten the gray. Catie’s cards and phone call and general helping ways have been the source of comfort to so many even those far, far, away. It takes a special person, never to taunt back to those who are so weak of soul, they only can attack. Catie cares in a Christian way she turns the other cheek. She’s full of words of poetry but we’ve only seen a peek. I pray she has more sunny days I’ll do it right away. Love YOU Catie Did

Love this! YES!!! I am always in amazement of how she brings compassion, reason and strength to whatever conversation or thread on Soup -- her honesty touches me right to the core and her poetry is always inspiring and REAL. xoxxo
