Hopefully, you posted this to her regular Rate and Review thread, too.

Kym dear, I wasn't gonna post cuz I wanted this to stay up near the top (you KNOW I saw it right after you posted) BUT since others have spoken I will too. NO we DIDN'T HAVE TO we WANTED TO. WHY? Because you are a great giving person. All you wanted was to help others and to do something to make this Christmas season a little more special and for some it was more than that! You didn't have to either, but you did and that is why this whole thing happened. BECAUSE you GAVE to others, we (Angie, Diana, and I, we all worked together) wanted to give something back to you and your family. In my opinion and I am sure they rest of us who pitched in (without whom all it all wouldn't have happened) wanted to make sure your family had something special too! You are loved, or at least well liked (hehe, smoothes) We couldn't let you go and give of yourself and dedicate your time to making others holiday special while you sat there on Christmas day wishing you could have giving your kids a Christmas. Kym, that just wouldn't have been right. I am sure all of us would have been sadden by that fact if we hadn't pitched in! We could and we did, because your and your family deserves to feel "Special" too! If I had joined this terrific swap you created and gotten all this wonderful seeds and KNOWN in my heart that you were breaking inside I couldn't have enjoyed them as much as I do! I hope everyone else who reached out to you and your family feels the same as I, Angie, and Diana does! YOU ARE SPECIAL, We LOVE you and wanted to show you how much you mean to us! Thank you for being the person you are. Thank you for caring about others, for giving yourself, and most of all for being a good friend to so many others! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN Hugs and happiness, Fran

That song is my all time favorite from any play and I have collected it performed from many artists. I've provided a link to Colm Wilkinson, doing a compilation of his music, including Bring Him Home. The very best adaptation, IMO, was from Mandy Patinkin. He has an incredible falsetto and for those of you who only know him from TV, he's one of the greats. I'd give my right arm to see him and Patti Lupone in the aptly named "An Evening with Patty Lupone & Mandy Patinkin". Here is a link that might be useful: Colm Wilkinson

Happy Anniversary! Again...thanks for sharing your story and your pictures. I wish you continued happiness and many more years filled with the love you deserve. Sounds like you were made for each other. Congrats!!!
