Thank you for the nice letters about the story. I'm happy that it has
touched you in the way that it has. The writing of it has also touched me -
many of my angers and sorrows have fallen by the wayside during the writing
of it. Christmas is a very powerful thing.
I must apologize for the many typos that are in the story. The only time I
have to write lately is long after the time that I should be in my wee
trundle bed with Mee Maw and The Guys. My fingers and eyes go to bed long
before I do. I'll get the story polished up before it's reposted on
Christmas Eve.
I hope to have the corrections made in a few days so that those of you who
have requested permission to reprint it will have a *cleaned up* copy. BTW,
I've decided that you should pay for doing so. Do something nice for
someone who is not expecting it. Perform a random act of kindness, then the
story will be yours to do with as you wish.
Many much loves,
Paw Paw
