Dear Nancy,

I can't believe you have been here and gone. After waiting all of that time to meet you and hear you speak, and it's over. It doesn't seem possible.

Well, as I hope you already realize, you were a hit!!! I can't begin to tell you the wonderful feedback we have gotten as a result of your visit. One woman walked up to me and said, "How long did you say you have known about Nancy and why have you been keeping her a secret?" And another said, "It sounds like you've been reading Nancy Samalin for quite a while. If you follow her advice it's no wonder you have such nice kids!" (If she only knew the truth). Anyway, this is just a small sampling of the comments that we have been getting. But, by far the most frequent comment has been, "Thank you for bringing her and when is she coming back." Obviously your sense of humor, compassion and warmth came through as you spoke and touched a place in everyone who came to see you. Often times just knowing that you are not alone in this difficult job of trying to raise loving and caring children is such a help in itself. And to hear that someone like you made mistakes is heartening.

Nancy, it was such a joy meeting you and working with you. I am also glad that I got to meet your husband. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your weekend together. If there is ever anything that I can do for you, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am thrilled that I had the opportunity to meet you and hear you speak. This may sound silly, but I was really expecting so much from you and you by far exceeded my expectations! Thank you for the wonderful job that you do, and the difference you make every day in the lives of our most precious gift, our children.
