It will Take a Little Longer...!

Jen lives in Lincoln, Nebraska. This past year she went to Omaha (neighboring city) to participate in the Race for the Cure - Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Each participant runs in homage to somebody. Jen ran for me. This year, she asks for permission to run for ALL OF US. And made us a video the one that added this text:

"This is a dedication, from the United States of America, to the women in Portugal with my promise to Run for Life on your behalf. The ... all » dedication is extended to all women all over the world and their friends and family affected by the disease.

The Komen Race for the Cure - Nebraska will be held in Omaha on October 7th, 2007. During this time, I am honored to carry in my heart and on my back the names of some very special women in Portugal."

God always wanted. I dreamed of this during much time. The Workmanship was born today, day 14 of September of 2007, to 4:05 PM, with the celebration of the public writing of Project Light. Me, Margarida and Marta gave life to the Portuguese Association of Support the Oncology patients, thus fulfilling our will to support these sick people until the end. I know that I will be able to count on you. Today I am a Woman who fulfilled a dream...

"Jane Tomlinson, a cancer sufferer who raised over a million pounds for charity through a series of gruelling sporting events including marathons and long-distance cycle rides, has died, a family spokesman said on Tuesday.

Tomlinson, 43, from Leeds, was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer in 2000 and given six months to live. She died on Monday evening.

She single-handedly raised 1.5 million pounds, gaining worldwide support and in June was made a CBE.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown was among those who paid tribute to the mother-of-three.

In a statement, he said: "The whole country will be greatly saddened by the death of Jane Tomlinson and our thoughts are with her husband, her three children and all her family and friends.

"We will remember her amazing spirit and strength and that exceptional charity work, and she will be a daily inspiration to our generation to fight on against the terrible scourge of cancer."

Hoje eu vos queria oferecer estrelas
Brilhantes, coloridas, porque vos considero
Pessoas muito especiais, e é convosco que
Eu quero celebrar o lindo sentimento da Amizade.

Quantas coisas boas já partilhamos todas juntas,
O nosso encontro não foi casual, talvez até já estivesse escrito,
O que é certo é que todas(os) nós teríamos que nos encontrar,
Para que esta Amizade nascesse e fortalecesse entre nós,
Ao longo de nossas vidas.

Mas o que importa é o Presente,
E o Presente é este magnifico grupo de Amigos
Que tem vindo a crescer ao longo destes meses
E que eu admiro muito, porque estão sempre presentes
Nos bons e maus momentos, sem que peçam algo em troca.

Para mim são Amigos verdadeiros,
Dão-me força, esperança e muitos miminhos!!

Por tudo isso e muito mais , meus queridos…
Que hoje as estrelas do céu brilhem com mais intensidade
E se vocês notarem algumas delas com um brilho diferente
Não se assustem!!!
Foram aquelas que eu pedi a um Anjo
Para entregar a cada um de vocês com muito carinho
E Amizade da minha parte…
Beijinhos a todos e viva a Amizade.

E meninas e meninos, um grande tchim tchim,
À amizade,
Ao amor,
À força,
À esperança e, claro,
À nossa cura...

Muitos beijinhos

Da Anixinha para todas (os) vós.

One year ago was this: "One of our 'girls', Alda, will be in surgery tomorrow. Here is a great little kiss and the certainty of that everything will go well. Go on! It will take a little longer... See you soon."

One year already passed, tomorrow goes to be with Alda, cool, pretty and healthful!
