1st Cherry Delivery (this year)

Thank you thank you thank you for buying cherries at Kings Market & Market Place!! You guys are so wonderful!! I love it when you comment about buying cherries, and the emails, and the text messages!! It's like you're sending me hugs, and it makes me feel incredibly special. If you take any photos, I'd love to add them to the blog!

We delivered on Saturday, and the whole trip was a blast. Hanging out with Dan is my favorite thing to do. He appreciates my rediculousness. We were stressed about missing the ferry (which we didn't) but spent the entire trip laughing. And a road trip to deliver cherries might be the best thing ever. It was so much fun! The best part was getting to thank everyone at both grocery stores. This is our third year of selling cherries, and it's a wonderful fundraiser. More than that, though, it's really fun to have something to provide, to not just ask for help. Usually my dad does the deliveries, since I can't drive, and it was nice for us to take over and accomplish what he normally does since he's away getting venom. 

I can't thank you guys enough for all of the support. I love doing the cherry sales, and I feel really fortunate that Kings and Market Place partnered with us to make this a reality. 

Thank you thank you thank you thank you!! :))))))....(that's my smiley face with a bunch of extra chins because I'm so happy).

Thank You!

My parents swung by our place at Green Lake a few hours ago, and they were beaming! They were blown away by the generosity. People not only bought cherries, but also donated. Above the money that they raised in West Seattle, they were moved deeply by all of the hugs and kisses they were given. If you haven't met my parents, they're incredibly loving and affectionate. I grew up with hugs and kisses all the time, especially before bed. My parents are loving and kind, ridiculous and funny, thoughtful and generous. I appreciate everyone giving them so much love and for making this fundraiser such a wonderful success! So thank you everyone, not only for purchasing cherries or for the donations, but also for giving them so much love!! Since I'm just their child at the epicenter of the cancer without of the privilege of understanding what it means to be a parent, I can not imagine what they're going through. So, thank you! Thank you so much!! We had no idea how much love we would be given, it's been a beautiful example of love and human kindness. Thank you!

To thank you for buying cherries and donating, AND for hugging my parents and giving them kiss after kiss, I am drinking two pints of my disgusting sprout drink. I figure that, if you guys can support me emotionally and financially, I can give all of my energy to my health, even when it's incredibly tough.

Truthfully, I wish you could smell how horrible this drink is, it's created from benzyl and phenyl sprouts. Misery loves company!
