This sure is great news! What a relief. I thought this was going to go on for a long time. Thankfully, for the family, there's some light at the end of the tunnel now.
I already sent her an e-mail. Nicely done all of you.
Thank you lc!
warmest regards,
Annamarie :)
P.S. and thanks Mike!
And thank you too, GDK for your help! Thanks to everyone who helped unquestioningly, tirelessly. Your letter and blog posts made a difference!
Much appreciated! I'll keep everyone updated once the family is back here, to make sure they don't slip through the cracks again.
warmest regards,
Annamarie :)
I'm *so* relieved at this news! Annamarie and catnip are tremendously inspiring bloggers--thank you both for keeping this on everyone's 'frontburner' and for drawing my attention to Kevin's situation. I will keep my eyes peeled for updates on their resettlement and progress. Best regards--GDK
Whooee! My hat's off t' Annamarie an' to all the decent humans who went t' bat fer the little feller. I'm callin' this one a victory fer the Canajun boogeysphere.
