Day 9 Part 2

This is a sweet email from Ms. Cherie..and thought I'd share.

Dear Aileen and Amy,

Thank you for sending the pictures and the link to your blogs. I really appreciated getting to read about your experience with HHH. I’m glad you could see beyond the actual work that you did (most of the time), filing-- to the bigger significance—one, how much help it is to the staff and clinic volunteers to have the files kept in order so that they are easier to use; two, to have some connection with our patients through bits of conversation or seeing snippets of their files; and three, to have some interaction with our paid and volunteer staff to see the care and dedication that brings them here every week. I think you really “got it” and that pleases me greatly. That is my greatest aim for our volunteers.

I love the pictures you sent (well, some of me, not so much), but to have us all together. Thank you so very much for bringing me a gift in the first place—so sweet and thoughtful—and for its being such a lovely bath set. I love it and will enjoy it so much (it’s still wrapped up and looking pretty until I can show it to my husband this Wednesday).

It has been such a pleasure having you volunteer with us and getting to know you. I know very good and special things lie ahead for you.

Love,

Cherie
