Thank You All - #Healing4Kerry - captured on Storify

Something really special extraordinary happened on Saturday night.

We forgot about our own problems
We forgot about X factor
We forgot about the Ricky Hatton fight
We forgot about Strictly Come Dancing
We forgot about the Robbie Williams concert

and we focused on Kerry @MultipleMummy.

We tweeted for her
We wrote blog posts for her
We bought and ate chocolate for her
We came together as a united online community for her
We raised our spirits and our chocolate bars for her
We wished her well
We wished her a speedy recovery
We offered love and support to her immediate family and friends
We spoke to her family and friends who came online to join us
We explained to the people watching, why #Healing4Kerry was trending
We proudly stood tall and stayed up late whilst it all unfolded
We shared our memories and our photos of her
We talked about how very proud she'll be when she hears about this
We wished very loudly, that she will be at home with her family for Christmas
We watched Kerry's prayer several times and cried every time
We shared her prayer with anyone who would listen
We gathered up our audience, so that they joined in, whether they knew her or not,
We felt humbled, excited and in awe, in equal measure
We all opened up and voiced our belief in the power of positive thinking/prayer/hope/belief

In short, we rocked
And Kerry @MultipleMummy you rock too, and so does your very proud husband Nick @tractorboy1978 your sister, @LisaSeymour9, your sister in law Louise ‏ @amli256 and your friend @beautifulbtales.

Get yourself home darling.

And when you are back, and all of the Christmas presents are under the tree, and the kids are tucked up in bed, take a look at this, and discover, if you didn't know already, how much we all love you.

This is a storify, of the night that #Healing4Kerry trended for 2.75 hours. << link currently broken :-(

It doesn't seem to have captured everything - I keep getting to a point where it says "Twitter is not responding" but I will keep trying, in an endeavour to capture the whole story.

If anyone reading is an expert on Storify, please do get in touch.

If I get a better result from trying to curate/collate Saturday night, I will update the link above.

And for any readers, who didn't know this was going on, look at the 6 posts I have written about it, starting from this 17th November post onwards, but more importantly, go to this LINKY, where you can see the 112 posts, from the heart, that bloggers have written, to give their very best wishes to Kerry and her family.

You Say It Best When You Say Nothing At All

I have written 3 posts for #Healing4Kerry but I knew the time would come when I would write the one for 24th November.

But
words
escape
me.

I have been humbled by all 28 posts I have read today/tonight (in our blog hop for healing), but even more blown away by posts like this one from one of her very best friends and this video compiled by her darling husband, Nick, who shall always be known as Multiple Daddy from here on in.

So I have spent the last few hours TRYING to decide what to say in this post, and then I thought silence is golden and THEN I couldn't help but think of the name of this song and ended up watching it on You Tube:

Some of the lyrics in the above are rather fitting.

So it is rather apt as I really feel like saying nothing at all.  That's not to say that I haven't already as I have here, (that link takes you to the blog hop) and in the 2 posts after it.

EDIT at 18:23 24/11/2012 after returning with chocolate stash.   Mr @Mutiplemummy, henceforth known as Multiple Daddy, has said we should tweet and eat chocolate so that is what we'll do :-) with that in mind, the below has been crossed out, but remains, for posterity to reflect my thinking of 2 a.m. last night when I'd just read 28 humbling posts by you all.

But saying nothing at all brings me onto my next request.

I think we should create some noise throughout the day tweeting via #Healing4Kerry and tweeting out the many blog posts as they pop up.

But the time when I think we should say nothing at all is at 10 p.m.

We've all agreed that we would pray, meditate, light a candle and so on at that time, but how about we stay silent while we do so.  (By silent I mean no tweets).

I was talking to Kerry's Sister in Law on Twitter (@amli256) via DM and we thought a 2 minute silence at 10 p.m. would be appropriate.  I hope you all agree???

Please spread the word if anyone is yet to hear about #Healing4Kerry

The goal is to create healing for her that will get her home in time for Christmas, to family and friends who need and miss her dearly.  Also, to her 3 special babies, who are being so strong waiting for their precious Mummy's return.
