Kim in Bandana, the Staff in Pink...

So many times, so many lives, so many thing left unsaid...until it's too late.
But not THIS time, not THIS life, not THESE words.

'We All Love You.'

Kimbies, my sister & so much more to me and to many of you, is also a lunchroom lady...among 101 other things.

She doesn't 'do' pink and she doesn't 'do the pink ribbon thing.'


But, oh, that crew up at her school, they got her.

Just as they had gotten her week after week, they got her this week too.

They got her right where they want her... in their hearts, in their thoughts, in their prayers & in their lives.

...and they got that girl to wear pink!


A couple of weeks ago, they said 'Kim, wear green on Wednesday, we are all going to do it.'
Then, it was 'Kim, wear blue on Wednesday, we are all going to do it.'
Pink Wednesday, lazily rolled around & she thought nothing of it.

She didn't even have a pink shirt! But that's OK, they provided them.

Who are they? They are the ones that know sides of Kim that I do not know, that you may not know & that she may not even know herself. They are the ones that work with her. They are the ones that love her in ways that only they know.

All of our love in individual & divine....and they have a very special love for Kim.

A love that calls on 900+ students, all their teachers, the nurses, the helpers, the groundkeepers, the maintenance men, front office staffers & cooks to all come together & keep a secret. They are An Army of Love.

And they had a surpirise for Kimbies.

But I will let her, in her own time, tell you about that.

In the meantime, War has been declared, Kimbies is kicking butt & the Army is ever-growing.

I've never heard of that Christmas CD... but I know that I would love it!

I can't wait for Kimbies to bounce back up here & tell us, in her own time & own words, about the surprise.

Every great army is inspired by their leader. She was probably leading all along and didn't know it. I wish I could have been there. Cheering her on. Keep it up Kim

Dear Anonymous~
So true!
And even though, you and I may not have been there for the surprise...we are still part of her army, supporting her, even if only with a word, a reminder, a thought, a moment....
She is the threads that binds us ...
