I want to thank all of you for being such generous souls who look for ways to help others. I have always tried to model that for my little boy, such as sterilizing and taking his outgrown books and toys to churches and daycares, in the hopes that he grows up knowing the feeling you get from doing nice things.
I'm kinda ashamed to even write this, but just today I had to write to a local organization to ask for Christmas present help for my son. I have never, ever had to do such a thing -- but after losing my job of 8 years in September, and my ex flaking on child support again, I had to do it. I love how my little guy still believes in Santa, and I don't want to ruin that for him.
I'm rambling... but I just really wanted to say thanks to you guys for being out there and helping others. It feels pretty rotten to possibly be on the receiving end of help at all, but I can tell you with all certainty that the people you help really do appreciate it. Your good deeds will come back to you. :)
