Way to go Terry, I know our words of praise can't compare to how you must feel inside knowing you did something that amazing. I can't wait to hear from you and see the footage Taryn captured. I could use a good emotional cry!! You are a true inspiration to all who know you. Hope you get some rest and are able to relax now. Here's to sleeping in your own bed and soaking up in your tub.

Terry....now that I have had a few hours to actually realize what an AMAZING feat that was, I am STILL speechless!! OMG! I just don't even know what to say! Except that I had faith in you.......faith that you could and would do it. Yet afraid, as you were. But please, besides healing your body,I pray that you find a way to heal the betrayal of your heart. I am SO, SO sorry that you had to go through that, right in the middle of your run! Wow....what a STRONG, STRONG woman you REALLY ARE!!!!!!! I love you so much.......you have always been my "rock". WOW. WOW. I love you!!!! jack

Taryn, great job hanging in there for your mom. Must have been one long, hot, exhausting trip for you too.
Get lots of rest and get home safely. Can't wait to here all the details and see the documentary.

Great job! No words are enough here. You have proved yourself and to yourself time and again just what the body can go through. You are amazing and have accomplished one huge thing after another with this entire run. Finally some much needed rest without thinking I gotta get back out there. Hopefully you can relax, rest, and heal your feet and the rest of your body. Enjoy your moment of glory and know that yes what you did has made a difference. And in many more ways than you will ever know I am so proud of you, I never had any doubt, just hope and prayers. Good job Terry. All my love Trin

OK, so, as I was getting my hair "trimmed" today, I started chatting to the hair dresser about YOU and the fact that you were running through Death Valley, AND prolly donating your gorgeous hair to "the girls", and the lady cutting my hair started to tell me about a teen that came in yesterday to donate her hair, and how hard that was for her..so OF COURSE....I had to tell her YOUR story!!! Good times...... Ter.... You are SO FREAKIN' awesome!!!!!! Love, jack

TER!!??? I am anxiously awaiting the words of wisdom from our fearless leader. I can only imagine that after something like that, you need to rest, mentally AND physically. tap tap tap tapping my fingers, waiting to hear from you. The only fear that I now have, as it IS all about ME, is....what's next? Please, for the LOVE, just take it easy for awhile. Love you, nursejackie

The rest... it will come with time. Please let it. We all love you so very much and are here for you. Now that you are home, I say more than ever... DON'T GIVE UP. Only you know what that means. Love ya sis, Lisa
