My previous entry was an appeal for people to vote for the photo of our daughter, entered by my wife in a photo contest. If we could win, my wife was hoping that the picture of Becky would be wildly distributed, spreading Becky's Legacy far and wide. We quickly moved up near the lead, but a photo of a cat frustrated every our every effort to secure a solid first. In the end, the cat entry was disqualified for using an illegal voting board, which left us with all alone in first. My wife received a phone call this afternoon, confiirming that she won. The lady calling had followed the competition, and was touched by Becky's story. She promised to pass our story on, along with our request that the photo be widely publicized.
My wife is thrilled. Even if the picture isn't used by Michael's, she feels like the competition from the cat help her achieve her goal. In our effort to find votes to keep up with the cat, Becky's story spread around the world. We've received messages of support from around the world, an offer from an artist who want to paint a portrait of Becky for us, and LOTS of new fans on the Becky's Hugs page. The support has been far more than we every would have expected, and we're both overwhelmed.
So, on behalf of my wife, I just want to say "THANK YOU" to everyone who helped us by voting and by spreading the word. You have all helped keep Becky's memory alive and to spread her love around the world!
