Can you believe this? It's just incredible! I had no idea. None. Here's the thing….I would say at least 75% of the packages that have arrived are from new-to-me people. HCIT? How about that cute message on the envelope from Bonnie? And those rosey messages from Inge, pinned through the socks for the nurses. You all keep me going. I am so feeling the love.

It has been a delight to read your notes and to get your messages both written and unwritten. I'm stealing this line from my friend Linda….it blows my socks off. Truly. Thank you again. I know I said August 15th for the due date but it will be at least another week after that until I send the boxes off so for those of you who have written – not to worry. xoxo

Oh thank goodness, I haven’t been able to get mine out yet, I’m overnighting them tomorrow (Wednesday) but it’s good to know there will be time to get them to you!

Oh WOW! You are practically drowning in socks… and pink love. Much deserved! Maybe you should put a couple of pairs aside for your overloaded mailman. 😉

I so agree with Inge…this overwhelming response to your tiny request is what YOU ignite in people, Michelle and we are honored to be part of it. The photos of all the socks and packaging are so happy and joyful and are giving me a strong craving for some yummy bubble gum! xoxox

A sea of pink love — how wonderful! Glad to see my socks arrived and have a lot of company. I hope this pink energy builds like a tidal wave of healing for your family and the patients at the hospital.

How amazing and wonderful they all are! Michelle, you’ve given a gift to all of us by asking us to share “pink love” for Shannon.
My socks are on their way but may be slowed by customs…I just wanted you to know that they’re on their way!

Somewhat more than 323. What a process and adventure you have begun, part of your own grieving, and closure in such a colorful and generous way. So nice to know there is a digital community that exists and makes thins happen in a non digital way…love from grrl+dog in Sydney

I mailed mine to you on Tuesday, so it is good to know that you be taking them for a while! Goodness, this has become a BIG job for you. Perhaps you could drop off some of the overflow to a local women and children shelter to spread some pink goodness locally? Otherwise you might have to take out stock in a shipping service! The power of the internet is only superseded by the power of love.
