I suffer in silence for the most part. I don’t believe in showing how bad I am all the time and I expect nothing from anyone.

The other night I received a visit from a friend.  Unfortunately I was in my pajama pants with a barking dog and a shower running.  He completely understood and he gave me a “card” and he left.

I went inside and got cleaned up and decided to open the card before the wife got home.  Inside was a letter from a good friend.  If his parents knew what he did, they would have got teary eyed as I did.

He went out of his way to tell his friends, who asked him what he wanted for Christmas, that he wanted money to give to a friend.  He included a list of roughly ten names on the back as well.

He gave us $500 dollars.  He didn’t ask us, or tell us, he just did it.

His parents must be so proud.  I can tell you even before the money, Chenell and I considered this person to be one of the sweetest people we know.

I wish I wasn’t so perplexed and unkempt when he showed up because I feel so bad now. He comes bearing gifts, and he got a quick seeya outta me!!  I assure you it was understood on both sides.

I assure you any parties or getogethers he will always be there.  Well, assuming he can make it.
This is a simple explanation of what the holidays are truly all about.  I will post the letter soon.

**I suggest everyone gets the Google Desktop.  It’s helped me tremendously.  It comes with a to do list, scratch pad, and many other add-ons.  If you sometimes forget things, this definitely has helped me.
