“Kind words can be short and easy to speak,
but their echoes are truly endless.”
~~ Mother Teresa

Hi all,

Please excuse the thrown togetherness of this newsletter.  Been a bit of a rocky time which made focusing difficult.  On top of that, I really like doing stories for the newsletters related to Andrew's birthday but with him being on a long-term assignment in Afghanistan in the lengthy story I'm working on... well, that made writing a Dyeland-set birthday story pretty much impossible unless I wanted it to be sad.  And I don't!  So... instead there are Andrew-themed fun and games and very little substance.  ;-)  Enjoy!

God bless,
Jenni
Word Search
So this is a lil bit different than I've done before.  No clues.  All I'll tell ya is that I hid words from the titles of TBAA episodes... specifically ones well loved for Andrew's part in them... below.  See how many you can find!  They can go horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and backwards.  I will post a word list... eventually.  ;-)  (ETA: Totally spaced posting that!  So... it's finally here along with, if you scroll down, a graphic showing only the words without the excess letters.)

Analogies



You may remember these from standardized tests but I promise these questions are more fun.  Just fill in the blank with an answer that matches the previous relationship.  For example: "Monica is to caseworker as Andrew is to..."  And the answer would, of course, be "angel of death" and the relationship is their specific (and primary since we know there's a bit of crossover) role as angels.  Answers could relate to Andrew as we knew and loved him on Touched or as things are for him now in Dyeland.  Some are tricky!  Here goes...

1.  Adam is to "The Southbound Bus" as Andrew is to "__________".

2.  Widget is to Tess as __________ is to Andrew.

3.  Tess is to Monica as __________ was to Andrew.

4.  A red Cadillac is to Tess as a __________ __________ is to Andrew of late.

5.  Gloria is to Monica then as __________ is to Andrew now.

6.  Antonio is to Monica in "Here I Am" as __________ is to Andrew in "Here I Am."

7.  "Black Like Monica" is to Monica as "__________" is to Andrew.

8.  Coffee is to Monica as __________ is to Andrew.

9.  Rafael is to prosecution/Marissa as Andrew is to _________/__________.

10.  Spanish is to Monica in "An Angel on the Roof" as __________ is to Andrew in "The Word."

See if you can figure out what episode the distorted photos in each birthday balloon are from!
               

               

This newsletter is dedicated to John who continues to bring so many of us joy and comfort.  This past week I was reminded of how, after John's death, I worried that his work (TBAA especially) wouldn't comfort me as much as it always had.  I feared a tinge of sadness would permeate it all and when I turned to the show when I was sad it would only make me more sad.  Thankfully, that has proved untrue yet again.  The man still makes me smile and he still makes me feel like, no matter what, there is goodness and hope in the world and even more to be found in the next.  Thank you, John, for that and so much more.
