Comments on: It Takes A Village http://tartanscottie.com/macblog/?p=275 Great Scots Magazine's blog for the Scottish Terrier obsessed Thu, 09 Sep 2010 06:12:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Laurie Haight Keenan http://tartanscottie.com/macblog/?p=275#comment-732 Laurie Haight Keenan Fri, 01 Jan 2010 05:06:28 +0000 http://tartanscottie.com/macblog/?p=275#comment-732 Yes indeed, you and Charlotte made this village. For us Scottie crazies in the village, you consciously evoked the strong love we all share for our little dogs, and both of you embodied that for all of us. No wonder you feel the love! And don't fool yourself, Joseph, it's not just Charlotte that people love on first encounter. You have a totally different personality, but we who choose strong-willed dogs find you a delight, too, and feel the same love for you. Tonight in the skies over Chicago is a glorious full BLUE MOON, which I take as an excellent omen for Charlotte's remission as we go into 2010. Your fellow villagers can all gaze up at the blue moon tonight, making their wishes for Charlotte, for a return to health this year. May the mouth sores abate, may the ascites and jaundice disappear, may the cancer cells slip quietly into abeyance as Charlotte's healthy cells surround them, easing them out of her liver, lungs, bones, and whole body and out of your lives. That's my wish on the glorious blue moon that shepherds us all into the new year. With love and strong hope, Laurie Yes indeed, you and Charlotte made this village.

Over the past 14 years you’ve both become a huge part of our lives. We’ve followed you through GSM and and feel we’re soul mates of a kind. We share your love of Scotties and their die hard spirit and together with our own ups and downs these past few years, we have followed yours. We too have been battling cancer and are living with the side effects of treatment every day. Please know that though you’re far away in miles, you are both very close in our hearts. From deep in the woods of Sweden we look up at the skies and see some of the same stars and the moon which is almost full tonight is the same moon you’ll be looking at. You’re not so far away and as we look at it tonight we’re sending prayers and best wishes your way. We look forward to meeting you both one day when we’ve all come out on the other side of this horrible illness. In the meantime, thank you for letting us be part of your village and your lives. Inger, Hans and Laddie Dearest Charlotte and Joseph,

The Scottie network is so special and unique as are the people. Both of you have touched the lives and hearts of so many of us; we hurt because you are hurting and hope and pray that the beginning of 2010 will show much improved health and hope. Know that you are loved. Norma and Evangeline Dear Ones,

We are praying that Charlotte will find a healthier new year awaiting her. We have a cross-stitch that says... MARRIAGE: MAY THERE BE SUCH A ONENESS BETWEEN YOU THAT WHEN ONE WEEPS THE OTHER WILL TASTE THE SALT. This is true in our life, and it certainly is true in your lives. You are blessed to have each other. We are always here for you both. Dear Friends…our thoughts are with you on this New Year’s Eve, as they always will be.

As Farrah Fawcett said "cancer is a disease that is mysterious, headstrong, and makes its own rules." Thinking of you both every day and am praying for Charlotte's full recovery.

Yes, the village is huge, and strong, and better than it has ever been, because of you both - Charlotte once told us when bad things were happening here, in this part of the village, that she wished she could make it all better for us - Via her spirit of love and concern, our hearts were strengthened and touched by her dear words. They meant so much to us in our moment of pain. They truly touched our hearts. We send the love and hope right back to both of you now - What goes around, comes around. We are with you now and sharing our Diehard Spirit and Love from all around the world - the world that you both created, and opened up for us, and for which we shall always be grateful.
