Well Met,

Salem, I know you through a few mutual friends: Jennifer Walker (a
Live Journal acquaintance whom I recently met in person at Anthrocon) and
Jim Woods (he and I are friends, family, and share a Wiccan Tradition).

My name is Fran Wolfe-Johnson (known as TygerMoon Foxx on the internet)
and I wanted to send you well-wishes.  You have a lot of people actively
working for your safety, recovery, and well-being.  Jim spoke so highly
of you; I know you've been good to him and his little girl.  Between he
and I, you have the resources of an entire Tradition at your disposal.

I know you'll use that infamous stubbornness to your advantage; it will
get you through the tougher portions of your recovery.  You'll be in my
thoughts and prayers until such time as you completely recover.

You've got a long road ahead of you.  Rest, get well, and know that
we're out here, supporting you.

Best Wishes,

Fran Wolfe-Johnson (TygerMoon Foxx)
Freyja (she's my service dog)
and four pesky cats (supposed to be guardians and familiars but answer
to the name "glutton")

Salem, kitty, my kin, and dear friend- you are one of my own, although
we have only met in furson once or twice I have grown very fond of
you over our online friendship. we kitties are tough and you have
many as well as other furs and others who are close watching over you-
when Darkie told me, by pure accident- supposedly it hurt so much
being out here in new Mexico without a way to help. I had an sca war
that I had planned to go to- almost didn't I was so worried. you got
to get through this- we love you. Cougar, our friend who came with
us, and so many others I have gathered to me to send strength and
hope your way. I wont Deny it- I'm Terrified right now but I refuse to
think ill lose another dear one. may the great ones watch over you
and keep your instinctive strength going when you need the extra push.
I really wish I was there to hold you to set by you- just be there-
more then in sprit- but I cant- at least not yet-  but hopefully
you'll
be through this before I get back to the green.

Namaste

Hiya - Ostrich here. You'd prolly know me as Suri the Lemur from Spindizzy. We miss you there. Best wishes on your recovery.

Salem,

    To a fellow cat whom I know only thru a friend and have never spoken with, I send my greetings and get well wishes. Even though you are a friend of a friend, being a cat, you feel like a part of a larger family than that of human society’s comprehension. Being a cat, your strength is great and your will is strong. I know that you will pull thru this. But sometimes one’s strength alone is not enough, so I here-by offer you my strength, as a cat, and as a dragon, for you to keep going.

I and your fellow furs want to see you up and fur suiting with the rest of us (I haven't seen your suit yet, at least I don't think so..) Anyway, get well soon...always remember you have many friends around you to pull you up when you fall... Best wishes,

Salem,

You have friends around the world: friends who will be with you during your recovery, if not in body, then in spirit. Many of us know that the time ahead of you will be so very hard, but do not give up hope. We will be there for you, and we will do our best to help. You are asleep, for now, but we are around you. We worry for you, and hope that you will soon return to us once more. But for now rest well, and know that our thoughts are with you. *hugs* NimbleHeart Squirrel (New Zealand)

Meep... Well, I'm Vermin. Salem knows me from FuzzyLogic MUCK... Do send him my best wishes for a speedy recovery.

May the Life Force of the Universe help and heal you to a speedy recovery.

Salem, my dearest friend, not a day goes by when I am not thinking about you. And this was before your accident. Now my thoughts of you are filled with hope for a quick and full recovery.

Someday, I hope to be able to attend another convention, and I will need you with me again. It wouldn't be the same without you.

All of us on FuzzyLogic - the entire muck - are rootin' for you pal. We want you back! Get well soon!

*From within the shadows a figure steps. Lightning strikes the places where he steps. Upon clouds he floats, looking for the kitty. He smiles at him, lying there. As he does, he says,* "Lord Salem..... I do remember you... And I do wish that you were better. And I do hope you get better. Old friends are we.... And to see a friend in pain is one of the more hurting feelings in life." * A tear comes to his eyes.* "Yes, I remember you.... And my best wishes to you and your future, for one day we must meet again. Maybe soon." *With that the figure steps back into the shadows from whenst he came. As though on cue the winds begin to blow, speaking magically, "Salem, the great Dragons await your healing. Believe and they shall heal you... Hope is all you need."  Yet somewhere deep in your mind, the figure appears, "Oh, yeah, by the way... It is I, Lord Ratzalin von Donovich, Bat Mage and trusted friend..... Good luck old warrior, for I pray nightly for you.*

Dear Salem, July 28,2002

I have been thinking about you since the day I heard you got hit by the car. I've been praying over you like you couldn't imagine, every time of think of you which was often before, and is not constant. You are and always have been like a brother to me, I can't say older or younger, but I have always counted you as one of my closest friends. I'm sorry I am writing this so late and can only hope you receive it
in good timing. I have had a hard time putting into words the way I feel about your accident. I often wonder why in life it is the best people around that are hurt. Seumas, I've always looked up to you when it comes to being happy and making others feel needed and worthwhile. Your temperament makes you a very balanced person on a planet with few level headed people. I think often of us hanging out with Gyro, of my old beat up red Subaru that we drove around in. I often consider packing up and coming for a visit but now life has gotten so much more complicated that its hard to leave. I still owe you some Chinese food as I recall. I will make good on it I promise you, I can't say when but I will come and visit again and cook you homemade Chinese food. You've been a friend of mine for five years, I remember meeting you in person, I was a lil scared but your attitude quickly made me aware of what I was walking into.
*gryn* Anyways I'm writing you with my best wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery and rehabilitation. I can only contact you from afar right now but I'll always be like a brother, by your side. When you decide to settle down and a smart girl snatches you up I plan on catering the wedding. I just wanted to tell you that I have been thinking about you and kept you in my prayers,

Thank you for being one of my closest friends,
Your brother,

Seumas, you are in my thoughts every day. Thank you for being a friend to my son, Tarka (you know who I mean). My dearest hope is that you make a full recovery.
