For Jen

Ruth Anne: This quick blog is for the Teammate who isn't here right now but is.


Jen, it was so cool. Tutu took us to this great Thai restaurant by the edge of a large pond, complete with bamboo floors, a banana leaf roof and lots and lots of orchids hanging by the side. While we were raving about the spring rolls (ruined me for anything else back at home, I'm afraid) a small dragonfly came and rested on one of the leaves on the overhanging plant.

We noticed it. And then almost at the same time, we all said, "Jen!"

The cards you sent each of us, along with the bag of goodies, meant so much to us. Inside were words you chose to encourage and support us. Outside was the dragonfly -- your symbol.

I know it's been hard for you not to be here with the rest of us. But in so many ways, you are.

Thank you for all your encouragement. Thank you for praying for us. We are thinking of you.
