Yes, she effectively scared us!!

Well, this is mom. After careful consideration I decided not to correct Hope's minor mispellings; I think it defines "the moment" because it's so unlike her and obviously she's experiencing a different realm of consciousness. I hope I spelled all that right! We miss having Hope home to correct us (yes, I know Hope, it's "I hoped I spelled all that correctly!", to see how much she could pack into one day and miss her so much! We did get quite misty eyed reading her blogs and know how hard it will be for her to leave. If any of you would still like to help her reach her goal (on Diema's Dream Foundation it was said that 3-4K, only, it was they were able to send one of these kids to US to have the surgeries (donated) to fix "club foot" so that they would not have to stay in state institutions and someday have jobs and live "normal" lives. Hope was a bit bogged down with everything until the last few days but we put together a quick fundraising effort and have raised $2,200 thus far. If you feel you would like to contribute please just email me at lanctot@quixnet.net for details and tax id # so it can be a deduction to you and a blessing, like no other, that she can leave (so that she WILL leave) knowing she couldn't fix everything but at least left one permanent change in someone's life.Kara
