It was great to see all the kids this morning dressed in purple to show support. From what I hear other towns are in purple too today. Brooke, you should be very proud of what you have accomplished. I dont know you personally but -P.S. I LOVE YOU!!!

The spirit has traveled across the Atlantic. A cousin in Italy has a posting on facebook showing a hand holding a note that says P.S. I Love You.

The creation of this day is definitely spreading across the country with 32,000 YouTube views in just 5 weeks time! It is an amazing cause and it is so great to see so many people jumping in to support it. I also created a video to help support this day & cause, encouraging strength to fight bullying, depression, & suicide. Please check it out & share it with others to help PS I Love You Day & it's message spread like it should. http://bit.ly/AD0U0Z
