Hip hop, hippety hop
My “Easter Bunny” went off to the shop,
He bought me an egg and lots of chocs
And packed them into a cardboard box.
Then he wrapped it with paper and shiny string
It really was such a pretty thing.
Disaster struck when I opened the door-
He slid across the parquet floor,
He went round the corner and past the stairs
And finished up in a pile of chairs.
Of the Easter goodies not a trace,
he’d thrown them into my fireplace!
So a warning before you go opening doors
Make sure your “Bunny” has non-slip paws!





Happy Easter

With lots of love,

Everyone at Post Pals

Hi Rich, I just got a wonderful email from your Mother, updating me on how well you're doing. I'm so happy to hear that you're in great health and enjoying college. She told me you're on the rugby team, which tells me you're one tough, physically fit guy. I'm a retired physical educationt teacher and know fully well how demanding a sport rugby is. Have a great end of semester, good luck on your final exams, and have a wonderful Christmas. Fodly, Cindy Burkett

Hi Richard, I hope this note finds you healthy and happy at Ashland. I want you to know that I think of you often and can't help but picture you enjoying the college life. I told you before that my daughter Colleen is a freshman at the College of Wooster, just about a half an hour from you. She's been home for a two week break and is headed back tomorrow. She absolutely loves it there! You must also be busy with your studies and before you know it, finals will be upon you. Enjoy this arrival of spring...things will soon be beautiful there. Take care and God Bless You, Your friend, Cynthia

Hi Richard, I just "adopted" you from the Adopt A Kid on the Caringbridge site. Let me introduce myself. My name is Cynthia Burkett, I'm married with two college-age children. Matthew is a junior at Fredonia (outside of Buffalo), majoring in Music Ed. (viola) and Colleen is a freshman at the College of Wooster, majoring in Chemistry. I teach elementary physical education and my husband just recently retired from his position as a H.S. librarian. When I saw your name on the site, I clicked on it because I have a brother named Richard. It was like destiny...I couldn't believe it when I read that you were in college at Ashland. Your'e not far from my daughter. Also, one of her H.S. friends and church members is at Ashland. What a small world. I was happy to learn that you're dong so well. I would love to hear more about you and how you like college, etc. My nephew Ryon Rommel had a BMT for ALL in Sept. of 2001. He's doing okay, but still having some health problems and is presently at Duke Univ. medical center for treatment. I got very involved with the Caringbridge site through his family. I want you to know that my best wishes and prayers are with you. Looking forward to hearing more about you. Take care, Cynthia

Rita and family,
The pictures are wonderful!! You guys all look great!I enjoyed reading your update. Rich certainly has chosen a noble profession and one that he can find a job in ;-). With all he has been through I'm sure he'll be an even more effective teacher. I'm glad to hear that he seems to be adjusting to college life so well. Wishing you smooth sailing ahead.

Hi, it is so great to hear such positive news! I found your website as I was looking to see how other patients are doing. My little brother's girlfriend, Kristin Hofmann just had a BMT in 01/02. She is having such a rough time but it is good to read such a positive story. It is also great to see that you are staying strong for God. There is so much power in the prayers and I am glad to see that you keeping God in your life. Remain healthy and strong. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi! It is so great to read how well you are doing. I think it is wonderful that you want to be a high school teacher. Before my daughter got sick with ALL, I taught algebra in middle school. Good luck with the Christian sports camp this summer!

Hi from a mom of a fellow A.L.L. kid. Although mine is MUCH younger but just about as cute (handsome guy you got there!)

I am new to the A.L.L. list but have already found that I feel like I am no longer alone. So happy to have found it.

Sounds like Rich is doing wonderful. I will keep him in my prayers for that to continue on through life!
