Post from Stephanie Weber
Jen,
I wanted you, Don, and Linda to know this...I tried to post a comment, but it was too big. (me and my wordiness). Anyway, I do have a package for Linda...and donation money. Should I still mail it to you in Kirksville? ( Answer: You can mail it directly to Rusk (I'm out of the office next week)-- look in the righthand column for the address)

Go Linda, GO!!! Oh that's so great to hear about her walking!
You wouldn't believe it, but there are quite a few people here at Disney cheering her on. I shared her story with my team, particularly the post Don put up about "Life's Unwritten Rules". Why did I do that? Well, I work with a relatively small, close, team at Disney and we've recently had lots of discussions about Diversity, stereotypes, and rules--things you think you know about a person.
So I thought of Don's post about rules. I thought of how none of us can imagine what going through this can be like, and how few of us even know how to react. But to know that rules are never rules, and that humor & love survive...that's just the best. Plus with Linda taking steps...honestly what rules really exist anymore?! =)
For me, it's tough knowing friends of mine are in trouble and being pretty powerless...for someone just hearing the story, it's even more removed. But this blog really helps. It's a true testament to the human spirit, and I hope it helps Linda too! So for that I have Disney support for Linda, Don, Jen and anyone else who needs to know we're still cheering for Linda and her family!
Here are some of my co-workers' (Operations Integration team) comments...we are sending a donation package as well and will continue to follow the blog:
"What beautiful spirit in the face of such a devastating [event]...but isn't it just at these times that we show our true character?"
-Rosely Piraino, Secretary
"This [is] very moving, and your friend is fortunate to have such a loving and common sensical husband."
-Barbara Higgins, Director
"We take so many things for granted in this life. Let your friends know they are in my prayers, and I do believe in miracles - thank God for her amazing husband!"
-Ann Marie Randolph, Secretary
"Life is so precious! May I contribute to the care package?"
-Fay Golding, Secretary
"Amazing. Life is so precious."
-Carrie Presson, Manager
"Let me know if I can help. I'll be adding their names to my church's prayer list. Miracles do happen!"
