Several weeks ago, my friend and fellow Monkee, Lou sent Monkee-See  Monkee- Do a check for $700 dollars. The money had come into her life as extra, and she felt moved to send it to me. The check sat on my desk for several days.

The following week, Lou emailed to say that she was afraid. She found a lump in her breast.  She had an appointment the following day at two o’clock to find out if it was cancerous. I panicked and sweated and KNEW in my heart that this was the end of the world- but said to her, “It’s fine. It will be fine. I know it will be fine. I’m praying.”

The morning of The Appointment, I started emailing Lou meaningless “I’m thinking of you” messages. I watched the clock. At two o’clock I started staring at my computer- Waiting. Waiting. Ding from my inbox. Incoming mail. I opened it, grateful for the distraction. It said:

Hi Glennon,

I need to first say that I am not a blogger, nor am I a monkee (sorry!).  But my wife is and almost every time I see her on the ipad in tears, she is reading your blog (I mean that as a compliment).  She tells me about the wonderful things that you and your monkees do and that is what made me think to send you an email.  I don’t know if you “take requests” so to speak, but I wanted to let you know about one of our neighbors.

They are husband and wife in their mid 30′s and 4 kids, ages 5, 9, 12, and 15.  They moved here to Utah about 2.5 years from Ohio to be closer to family.  The wife was at that time recovering from breast cancer and a double mastectomy.  Besides being where they are both from, Utah is also home to the Hunstman cancer institute.  She had made what doctors told her was a miraculous recovery and about 2 months ago was given a clean bill of health and told she was 100% cancer free.  About 4 weeks ago she hurt her leg and was in so much pain that she decided to go to the doctor.  What they found out was that the pain was a fracture due to bone marrow loss and she was told she had bone, lung, and liver cancer, all in Stage 4.  They have been doing a great job the last few weeks of acting as if everything is normal, knowing that the prognosis is that she will likely not survive the year, the 5 year survivability of these is 0%.

All this being said, what I am hoping to help them with is some car repairs, they have two cars, both about 15 years old.  His car, which has 180K miles needed some work done and for the past three weeks he hasn’t done it because of the cost.  I saw the car sitting at the mechanic today and stopped in to see if I could pay for it for them, but it was $800, which unfortunately is more than I can help with.  I gave them $100, but would love to have them pick it up today or tomorrow and not have to pay anything.

 

The man needed $700 for his neighbor with cancer. Not $650, not $800, but $700. And so I immediately emailed Lou and said:

 

LOU! I KNOW YOU’RE IN THE WAITING ROOM. BUT LOOK! LOOK AT THIS EMAIL THAT  I JUST RECEIVED THIS INSTANT. IT’S A MESSAGE FOR US. YOU’RE GOING TO BE OKAY, LOU. IT’S A MIRACLE. WE ARE BEING LOOKED AFTER, LOU. ALSO- I’M SENDING HIM YOUR CHECK RIGHT NOW, OKAY?

Then I emailed the man back TWO MINUTES LATER and said: I have a check for $700 sitting in front of me with your friend’s name on it. Actually, you have to tell me your friend’s name so I can write her name on it.

And he wrote back and said: Are you serious? Is this Glennon?

And I said: YES! It’s Glennon! I promise! Just trust me. The check’ll be there in 3 days. Thank you for loving your neighbor so very much.

And he wrote back and said: “This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.”

And I said, “Yes. It is. It’s amazing. I agree. Thank you for allowing me into the amazing.”

And he said, “My wife is going to flip. Thank you.”

Then Lou emailed and said: “OF COURSE! IT’S A MIRACLE, SEND HIM THE MONEY! AND ALSO …ALL IS WELL. ALL IS WELL! It’s just a hormone imbalance.”

And I said, “Well I could have told you that, Lou. I mean, they need medical degrees to tell us we’re imbalanced? Duh. ” And then I silently said thank you Jesus thank you Jesus thank you Jesus.

Last night I got a card:

 

 

It says:

4/23/12

There have been many times when I have read and heard about people receiving gifts be complete strangers. I have always admired those who are so insightful to be the angels for those whose lives seem a little too hard to handle at the moment. You are the angels who gave us the feeling that maybe we can handle all that is coming our way.

As we were opening our stack of mail, we received a handful of medical bills, ads, and your envelope. As we opened it, we were both in tears. We were so shocked, grateful, and wishing we knew who you were! We have taught our children in the last few weeks many lessons from your act of kindness. You are in our prayers as we thank our Heavenly Father for our angels in Virginia who sent a gift that came at such a time that we know we are being watched over. Thank you for being inspired and then for listening to that inspiration. With Love and Gratitude.

 

I mean . . . Lou’s generosity, her lump, her need for hope, Monkee See  Monkee Do,the timing, the neighbor, the cancer, the family, the amount needed. Me getting all the credit even though it was all Lou’s money.

MIRACLES ABOUND, PEOPLE!

EYES WIDE OPEN TODAY!!!!

Love,

G

  5. Wow, that’s pretty much it. Wow.

  6. I have been lurking around here for a while, constantly amazed at the clarity and vulnerability of your posts as well as the generosity of spirit that your readers provide. In this week of miracles I request a prayer, a sending of thoughts, a lighting of candles, an expression of one’s choice to support my stepper. My mother’s husband, my example of fatherhood, my daughters’ best friend. We need him here. For as long as we can possibly have him. My daughters NEED him. I need him. My mom needs him and the world would be giggling more often if it realized it needed him. Pllease and thank you.

  7. Thank you Glennon for your post. I am officially declaring myself a Monkee. I have read your blog for awhile. I have read about your Monkee-See Monkee-Do and I am a Monkee that right now has only just enough to get by. I cannot donate to your causes right now, but will do so as soon as we have a little extra.
    Tonight I was sinking into depression about my 15 year old daughter who is struggling with PTSD on top of being a teenager. I decided I needed to read something to give me some hope so I could continue to function and help her on her road to recovery.
    Enter your blog post about the 2nd miracle.
    My daughter’s anxiety is overwhelming sometimes and your blog post last night gave my husband and I hope for her recovery.
    And the blog post tonight was the icing on the slice of cake I needed to lift my mood tonight. Monkees are awesome. Those that give, those that recieve. Whether we recieve needed money or hope.

    • hugs and love to you and your daughter, Lisa! sending both of you light as you struggle to help each other!

    • Lisa, we welcome you as a monkee with open arms!!! We are soo soo glad you are deciding to be a Monkee with us!!! I would be honored to pray for your daughter..

      • Thank you so much, Hillary! Prayers are always needed. I feel so blessed to be one of the Monkees!

  8. Thanks Glennon, for telling our story so beautifully. I’m so happy to share the God nod. Monkees, thank you for getting it. I told Glennon sometimes He whispers and sometimes He shouts from the rooftops. I received the email before the exam and it gave me relief that no matter what journey was ahead, God would be with me every step of the way. For full disclosure the extra money was sent a bit reluctantly.

    It is well.

    Much love to all!

  9. I just love Miracles!! makes me so happy!!

  10. Wow, just wow.

  11. You know what else I love? The number of lives He is touching through this blog! Thanks for all the sacrifices you make, Glennon, to make this happen!

  12. Ok, so everything’s going to be OK … even if it’s not my definition of OK …

  13. This is why I love this blog, because of the LOVE. Feeling connected, knowing there is LOVE out there for you, that’s all that matters. Share it, sisters!

  14. Thank you, Glennon for your discernment and your will to do God’s work here on Earth. Thank you, Lou for sharing your gift to also carry out God’s will.
    “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Mark 12:31

  15. This. Is. Amazing. I am so happy I stumbled upon your blog a few months ago; it is a source of inspiration for me.

  16. I am crying and smiling at the same time. I love it!
    God is good.

    Eyes Wide Open!

  17. Glennon, have you read Ann?
    “The world I live in is loud and blurring and toilets plug and I get speeding tickets and the dog gets sick all over the back step and I forget everything and these six kids lean hard into me all day to teach and raise and lead and I fail hard and there are real souls that are at stake and how long do I really have to figure out how to live full of grace, full of joy–before these beautiful children fly the coop and my mothering days fold up quiet? How do you open your eyes to see how to take the daily, domestic, workday vortex and invert it into the dome of an everyday cathedral? Could I go back to my life and pray with eyes wide open? Praying with eyes wide open is the only way to pray without ceasing.” (Ann Voskamp ~ One Thousand Gifts: A dare to love fully right where you are)

  18. Oh, wow. Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing! Keep doing what you are doing!

  19. Dang it, Glennon and fellow Monkees, where’s the *love* button when you need it? I’d settle for a *like* button…it’s just too hard to see through my tears to type…

  20. Miracle Week is so much better than shark week. Any chance we can add a “love” option at the end of your articles?

  21. That is just so cool.

  22. God is good! Who could deny it!!

  23. Amazing, beautiful, wonderful! God is good and there are beautiful miracles even in the midst of heartbreak and challenges like that family is experiencing. PRAYERS for them. I will pray that another miracle is headed there way…one of complete and total healing.

  24. love you, G. love, Lou and all the Monkees. eyes wide open. xo

  25. Glennon, through my journey with breast cancer beginning 2/10, I was led to start The Sparkle Caps Project in 10/10. To date, through this project, 153 gift bags have been given out. You can check the project out on Facebook. If you can provide me with the name and address, I would love to send a gift bag to the woman going through all these Stage IV cancers. One of my recent recipients calls them “bags of blessings.” I will sponsor the bag. It is a gift from God. Thank you. Susan Heimbigner

    • Do you have a website for the Sparkle Caps Project? I couldn’t find one. Am not a Facebooker – is there another way to learn about your cause?

  26. why do we doubt God? he is so amazing beyond our imagination and yet we put him in a box. this story is wonderful! thank you for doing what you do!

  27. I have been sitting my my new baby, Dillon, for almost four weeks now, in the NICU in Kansas City. My husband and our two other boys are two hours away. We are weary. Your last two entries were especially meaningful to me as we have been supported and cared for in countless ways since April 5th. However, it is feeling like it will take a miracle to get us out of here. My little guy needs to eat better before we can go home. We would so appreciate some special prayers and thoughts today. Thank you so much.

    • Praying for baby Dillon.

    • Is there anything that monkees in Kansas City can do to help besides pray?

    • Lifting your family to God! Monkee hugs!!

    • I’m praying for you, Dillon and the rest of your family. We were in there for 11 nights with our daughter and I can only begin to imagine all that you’re going through right now. Lots of prayers headed your way…

    • Prayer beams for Dillon

    • praying for you and your sweet bebe.
      hugs!

    • I will keep you in my prayers. My middle daughter was born at 30 weeks, I remember those days.. it was even hard to get there with my older daughter (they don’t allow siblings in there).. Well She had to learn how to suck, we had to teach her. We had to try and stimulate her by pressing the nipple on the roof of mouth. She has blood transfusions and a Brain bleed grade 3, Doctors said she would probobly have cerebral Palsy, to what degree – they didn’t know. needless to say, after 2 months of the NICU she came home. She is now 11 years old and thriving, no palsy at all.. you would never know she ever premature. She is just one of my Miracles!! And yours is coming too!

    • Prayers for all of you and Dillon!

    • Heather- I just wanted you to know that you are not alone. My wife and I had our son 7 weeks early and we spent 25 days in the NICU. Support has been so instrumental in keeping our sanity. He will be two this May, but the feelings and memories will always stay with me. If you’d like to find me on Facebook I can link to to some amazing support group. I run a page called Papas Of Preemies that addresses issues and support for prematurity from a dad’s perspective, or at my own page Joel Brens. I’ll pray for you!

  28. New fan here….in tears of course.

    • Brooke Welcome! We are so happy you are here! Thank you for blessing us by joining our Monkee circle!!! Yay!!!

  29. Crying….of course:)

  30. Thankful that Lou is okay, and so amazed that God used something like that to shine more love into the world!

  31. God is always there! Thanks for spreading His love all around!

  32. You always help us put things into perspective. Love that. Often think of you and your thoughts throughout my days. Thanks for sharing the miracles!

  33. Beautiful!

  34. [...] honor of Glennon Melton’s Miracle Week, which she’s currently hosting on her blog,  I’ve decided to throw my own little miracle [...]

  35. YES!!! God showering all of us with His love!!!

  36. I can barely read through the tears… amazing.

  37. God is GOOD!!

  38. What a beautiful message – for you all. A random (or not so random) act of kindness that changes the lives of other people is a most amazing gift, there is NO doubt about that.

  39. So wonderful to be able to read this. :)

  40. Omgoodness – I love momastery, monkee see monkee do, monkees, monkees’ thoughtful husbands, thank yous, faith, love, Godliness, and Glennon Doyle Melton!! My life is better right now because of all of those people and things. Love to you all! Thank you for this sacred place to softly land and feel connected. <3

  41. serious goosies! I love this story!!! xoxoxo!

  42. Oh G! What a beautiful story and Lou I am so thankful you are okay. I am so glad you both were able to help this family and that God sent the sign at just the right time. I love you both and am not only thankful for this family but that Lou wil be here with us. Thank you for sharing this story! Love you monkees,G and Lou!

  43. G –

    I’m crying as always at the brutifulness of it all.

    Love you,
    Stacy

  44. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!!

  45. Yes God is good and loving and caring. And I believe He is smiling:) It’s good you are sharing the stories.

  46. Glennon, as always, thank you! I will try to keep my eyes open to find opportunities to be a miracle to someone!

  47. I am a new reader and I’m just covered in chills and tears. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    Steph

  48. Love love love!!!

  49. Wow! What a testament to faith, love, and blessings that come in unexpected places.

  50. Hi Glennon-I live in Memphis, TN and learned about your blog several months ago through someone else’s facebook post of an article you wrote. I was hooked immediately. I wanted to stand up and shout “Yes! Yes!” You are someone who gets it and can articulate it in a way that many of us never could. You have such a beautiful heart. The world needs your love and gifts! Thanks for showing up everyday to share them. I have never commented before but felt compelled to today. This is just such an amazing story. Who can deny the hand of God in this?! Gives me chills. I believe in everyday miracles because I experienced one a few years ago. It was not an earth-moving one but I felt the love of God from it, for sure. My husband’s company closed its doors when the nation’s economy tanked. Thankfully, I worked and we had our health insurance through my company. We were blessed to be able to pay our bills but there was very little left after that. My husband is a wonderful cook and is italian. He makes a delicious spaghetti gravy. My mother suggested her started selling it. Hmmm-not a bad idea we thought. I’m a graphic designer so I can whip up some flyers and labels for the gravy, but what to put them in. Containers are expensive and I didn’t want to invest in a whole truckload and cut into our profit since we needed money yesterday. My husband was taking our girls to school and struck up a conversation with another dad. Turns out he sells quart containers with lids and gave my husband hundreds of them. And like that-we were in business! I can’t tell you how excited and loved we felt when we heard about those containers. It was our little miracle. My husband did well selling his gravy-even catered a few lunches. And it kept him busy during his job search. I’m going to keep my eyes wide open today!

  51. That’s pretty amazing. May we all be as open as your friend to paying it forward.

  52. I know that family you helped! The further I read, the more sure I was it is them. I lived near them when she a going thru her first round of cancer treatment. Such a sweet and deserving family.

    • I also know this family from when they live in Ohio. Mindy is one of the best mothers I know. I saw first-hand how dedicated she is to her husband and children. She absolutely loves to be with her family-they are everything to her. I also saw her truly care for others around her. I know if this was happening to someone she knew she’d be there in a heartbeat helping. This family is so deserving of blessings and so I’m so glad you found them! This is a great site! Thank you for all you do!

  53. Glenna and Monkees!! I know there is a reason why I woke up this morning, read this post, then read a post that a FB friend commented on by a woman who’s son has been fighting Brain Cancer. It seems that although he is ON Chemo, the tumor has grown unexplainably. If anyone needs to be a part of this Miracle Week this family should. Please Monkees send lots of prayers, love and positivity to this familiy http://www.facebook.com/pages/We-LoVe-RiLeY-fan-club/162179123866667

  54. “With wisdom power and love, Our God, is an AWESOME GOD!”

    I woke in the middle of the night. And I counted miracles. Breast cancer survivors with young children. Finding an aortic aneurysm because of indigestion. My LRHB that came from a uterus filled with gunk and tilted so much the wrong way that my hero hubby had to have bionic sperm to get there. A young girl who was ejected from a car, thrown so many feet that first responders didn’t find her right away, was in a healing coma and lived to graduate this year. A cutter that continues to seek therapy and healing from her years of abuse. A woman that birthed and is now raising in a loving home the child of a rape. Miracles of all shapes and sizes are all around us. We just have to pick ourselves up out of our gunk and look. G, love you.

  55. ~AMEN!~
    Praise Jesus!
    My heart is leaping out of my chest!
    xox

  56. Must.stop.reading.this.blog.from.work. Sitting at my desk crying a lot has too many people asking if I am okay!?! Of course I am okay – don’t miracles also make you cry?!

    • Kate, I am doing the same thing at my desk at work!

      • I’m also guilty of this :)

        I tell people I have bad allergies…

        • I’m doing it right now, in an office full of 20-something men (engineers) who are looking at me even more curiously than they already do (they are all expats and I am one of the only English as a primary language speakers here).
          CRYING. at the beauty. At the ONENESS that we all are.

    • That makes three of us!

  57. I have to stop reading your blog at work.
    I always cry!

  58. Of course, this goes without saying – but, I have those goose bumps all over my body…the kind that you think you maybe just dropped a hair dryer in the bath tub, type. The best part of this story is that all of you, everyone involved, took leaps of faith, shut your loud screaming minds and LISTENED and sat there OPEN and ready for what is bigger than you.

    I haven’t been able to wrangle all the kids and hubs and myself into the car for church lately, and this post was a whole lot of church for this wretch like me.

    As always, thank you G. Thanks for getting up, showing up and turning down the volume on KFKD so we can all have a piece of the peace. LOVE.

    • You put it so well, Kristin: everyone involved was open and available to make a miracle happen. This is how God works, I believe: reminding us to keep our hearts and eyes open; reminding us that we have the strength and will to take action. This is how God is good, all the time!

    • I agree with you in every way! So awesome!

    • KFKD!!! I know that station!!!
      :)

  59. I’m just learning you’re in Virginia – small world, so am I! I am near the Charlottesville area (formerly from Richmond). This post totally made me cry…loving the miracles that occur every day right in front of us.

  60. I wish I could film people’s faces and send it to the Monkees everytime we explain Simon’s Monkee See Monkee Do iPad. It’s almost comic in the best possible way. We are forever grateful, G and all you Monkees that made that (damn) iPad (that he is completely obsessed with) possible. It’s making a big difference in his learning and his eating therapy…
    -A Grateful Monkee in Oakland, CA

  61. Wow what a touching story…thanks for starting my day off with a smile (: Amazed at the way you are using your connections Glennon-you are a true saint

  62. What an awesome story! It’s so amazing to watch God’s story for our lives play out. I spent so many years in the dark, blind to what God does in our lives and I am so thankful now to be in His light, seeing the love He spreads through so many! Thank you for sharing!

  63. Amen. When I am still, I can hear the voice of the Universe (one of my many names for God). What a blessing that you could be still and were listening; what a blessing that you could hear and respond to His call; what a testimony that your obedience blessed so many. Keep listening…keep your eyes wide open.
    Peace and good.

  64. Dammit. When am I going to learn not to read Momestary at work? With mascara on? DAMMIT!
    :)

    Love you, G. Thank you for being a light.

  65. Thank you.

    Prior to reading this, I was sitting here wallowing in “Oh no it’s the first of the month and I have bills to pay and a long list of things to do and my house is a mess and my-husband-won’t-get-out-of-the-house-and-let-me-get-my-work-done……….

    Now, I am taking a deep breath, saying a prayer of gratitude that my day does not include broken down cars and cancer scares and less-than-a-year-to-live prognoses, and opening my eyes.

  66. My eyes are going to stay wide open because yesterday I saw a little miracle too. I had a busy day yesterday, starting with a job interview that went badly enoungh they asked the first question and ended the interview. (sigh) But had to go get a mamogram. This is my first. I’m 31. The lady doing the mamogram is sweet and funny and talks alot to distract from the uncomfortable proceedure. Until she doesn’t. Then she takes another picture. She smiles at me, but isn’t talking anymore. She takes another picture. She sends me for an ultrasound. I was all alone and scared. I prayed and prayed and tried not to cry. The ultrasound tech is a Monkee. She might not know it, but she is so totally a Monkee. She is upbeat and friendly and very careful with her job. She goes over the same spot a few times, and then I see her face. It slips from the professional mask of friendly neutrality for just a second. and I see……. relief. She smiles huge and even a tiny sigh. She tells me nothing but I know. I can see in her face and in her eyes that she has found the spot we were concerned about and it is nothing. I am ok. I get dressed and a doctor comes to tell me what I know already. My films are clear the spot they saw was a fiberous ridge and nothing at all to worry about! And that is not even the miracle part.. that is the nearly fall on the floor weeping with gratitude part. The miracle part is when I got home and came on my computer, my friends, my beautiful, sweet and wonderful, caring friends had sent me amazing beautiful perfect colors. Pictures of beautiful soothing, happy colors that just made me cry! I know that doesn’t sound like a miracle but it was. It was love and sweetness, it was caring for my very soul on a very deep level. I am still waiting to hear about a biopsy on a spot on my shoulder. But after clear films yesterday and my beautiful color miracle…. I am so hopeful. I hope that doesn’t sound too silly…..

    • It certainly doesn’t sound silly, Hillary – what a beautiful, beautiful post. I hope your biopsy goes well. If we’ve learnt anything from G the last few days it is that miracles do indeed abound!

    • Hillary,

      I just got another huge smile on my face from reading about your miracle yesterday. Praying that your biopsy results come back clear!

      I have seen three people healed from cancer – one being my husband. I never thought that I would ever be witness to miracles because so many times, we think God doesn’t operate that way anymore. But He does! He is still healing, touching lives and saving people.

      There are miracles all around us and while they might not be the huge miracles that folks saw during the life of Jesus, they are still miracles.

      Have a great day!

    • Hillary you never sound silly! I am so glad it is clear and I am praying the spot is too..We need you here with us and so does sweet luke! We love you Hillary!

    • I love how little things show us BIG LOVE! Hoping all goes well for you! I had a similar situation with a lump on my eye. And have lived through a close getting the dreaded news, living through it, thinking they are a survivor, celebrating with them at the beach, and then passing away 8 months later. ROCKED MY WORLD! Treasure and cherish the moments in front of us…oh Lord, help us!

      • friend I mean. And I meant living through the horrible treatment.

        • Oh Amanda! I am so sorry for your loss! I pray that you are able to feel solid again!!! Thank you for sharing with me! You are a wonderful person. I keep thinking that even if this isn’t clear.. I think it is caught in time that I can beat it. It is strange what your own imagination runs away with when you have to wait for something like this.

          • Yes, yes it is scary! Feeling for you! You are strong though, Hillary. And, you WILL be ok! For real! :) Hold on girl…with all your might! Enjoy each moment! Forever and always!

    • So happy you’re OK!

  67. I love how you getting all the credit is part of the miracle, g! Made me lol

  68. God is good!

  69. Thank you, Glennon.

  70. Why? Why do I read your blog before I am getting ready to leave the house?….I know it will end in tears every time. But, they are good tears. Tears of Joy. Tears of hope. Tears that remind me to be thankful and hopeful and to remind me that miracles do happen. Thanks for the blog. Now, I must go reapply my eyes.

  71. Miracles abound. Amen.

  72. This little bite of hope and inspiration will nurture me all day… it’s amazing what we can do for one another! There IS good in this world, and it’s a delight to hear it often through you G. Thanks for being such a wonderful conduit of hope and joy!!

  73. Lou, if you are reading this, this is one time I am thankful for those darn female hormones! (and that it was nothing else). I have to reapply my eyeliner. Thank goodness. I was beginning to shake reading that it might be the ugly “C”.

    And best wishes to the fellow warrior battling cancer. Lots of prayers going your way.

  74. I am going through, what to me, is a lot! But I read stories of what others are going through and it gives the attitude adjustment that I need. Thank you for all the work you do and for inspiring us all to live better lives. God Bless the Monkees!

  75. How can I help?

  76. I love you and the stuff you do, and how God works. Thank you.

  77. I needed that cry this morning. Thank you so much.
    :0)

  78. I am love love loving reading about these miracles! thank you for being the messenger! :)

    I received a gift from a distance aquaintance last week – $750 cash in the post and $250 worth of vouchers for grocerys and a kids store. AMAZING!! Especially because we needed some more cash so we can buy a car. We thought we were about a grand short. Amazing!! I think I might share this on my blog this week because your story has totally encouraged me to share these good moments in our lives!

    xx

  79. Crying crying crying.

    And good luck today, G!! Wish I could be there!!

  80. Wish I could be there to hear you speak! Have an amazing time and I’ll be thinking of you. This is truly a miracle and I love love love that you and Lou and the Monkee neighbor and the family all came together at the right time to answer a need. I have to tell I can’t stop thinking about Kew who commented yesterday. Did you hear any more from her/him? (Comment #18 at 4:19PM) How is the Cousin-in-Law? Is there anything the Monkees can do to help?
