Message to Celes, from the forum members

CJ · Post by CJ » Wed Jan 19, 2005 7:42 am

Hi all,

I'm not a big fan of war--any war. Still, I'm not so dense that I can't recognize and acknowledge the enormous personal hardship people--both soldiers and civilians--must go through in times of armed conflict.

I read Carolynn's post below and I'm glad Celes has found a way to stay connected with her friends here, through her exchanges with Carolynn. I'm thinking that maybe we can offer Celes a little show of emotional support by getting together and sending her a group message (maybe through Carolynn, again). How about we write Celes a short personal message, post it in this thread and then we group all these messages together (through the magic of "copy and paste") and send it to her in an e-mail, say, in a week or ten days' time? Carolynn, would you be up to the task of being the forum's "front person" in this long distance group hug for Celes?

My own message:

Celes, I just want you to know that you're in my thoughts and that I'm hoping you'll come back to us safe and sound. I know enough of your own hopes and dreams for yourself to be hoping and dreaming there, right alongside you. Take care.

Love,
CJ

Again, if you wish to send Celes your best wishes, just post them here and we'll gather them all into one e-mail. I hope this idea will fly; I'm sure Celes would appreciate the boost.

Love,
CJ

Celes,
I want you to know that I send you my warmest thoughts. I hope you, and everyone you are there with, come safely home as quickly as possible. I look forward to your happy posts from your own computer when you return!

Hi CJ and all. I will be happy to pass them on, or forward the email address from the web site, or you can get the address from her web site. It is posted there. If you haven't read the web site (link posted in several of her communications here), it might give you some background on Celes you haven't had before. Does take a bit of time though. Either way, it might be a good idea to choose your pronouns with care when writing her, given the location and facts of military life. I do know your good wishes in what ever form we send them will be appreciated.
