Awhile back I posted a message from Moreena, a reader whose daughter was undergoing liver transplants. The family stayed at nearby Kohl’s House in Chicago, which was sorely lacking in the romance department.
Moreena wrote in with an update that made my day. I can’t even tell you how awesome I think you guys are. Srsly. Y’a’ll Rule.
…we went to the Kohl’s House a few weeks back, and they were thrilled with the response they got from your readers. Let’s just say I almost miss being at the place, just for the fun bookshelf that now stands by the first-floor elevator. Also, one of your readers sent in VCR-DVD combos so that every floor can play the old VHS movies, which is a real bonus since the man who donated all those VHS movies had some rare gems (like Penelope Pitstop! Hay-yulp!). So a great big huge thank you to you for getting the word out, and to your readers for helping out.
Happy New Year and thank you to the wonderous Bitchery. And Moreena, may your daughter’s new liver fall totally in love with the rest of her metabolic system like a Greek Tycoon with his virgin secretary, minus the punishing kisses, of course.
I, for one, was glad to help. Moreena, blessings to you and your daughter.
This is incredibly heartwarming! Lots or blessings and hugs to you and your daughter, Moreena.
