Whew! I bet you are sooooo glad to be rid of me and these OT posts. Ferret. This will be my last one ... luck for you. Chet stepped off the plane in CA attire. Baggy cargo pants (no bust a sags), a tight, black FBI shirt, a soft button down shirt with I don't know ... some CA lingo embroidered on it, wicked sunglasses, flip flops and of course ... the infamous "tatoo". Oh. yes, let's not forget the most important thing ... the ear to ear smile. Poor kid had lost his wallet, all his cash travel money that he worked so hard for, and his luggage ... and did he care? Nah. It was well worth it. We treated the starving critter who traveled all day without meals to a late McDonalds run. All three of us and a friend of Sean's sat on the edge of our seats with wide eyes as Chet told us about meeting everyone. Did he talk about Disney Land? Meerkats? Movie stars? The beach? Walmart? Nope. Not one word. All he went on about was Robin, Marylou, Kathleen (the artist), Shanna, Linda, Pam, and the sisters. I truly hope that I didn't leave anyone out. He was so inspired not about their generosity firstly, but how spectacularly nice they were. And not just to him. But in general. He was lifted by the fact that the world was indeed full of such wonderful people. I wish I could describe the glowing look on his face when he said that. He was blown away at what these people give to the world. By their deeds and just by their presence on this earth. And despite the fact that some of them suffer such great personal obstacles or health problems. How do they do it, he wondered. He went on in detail about each and every one of them. Through this community both of my boys have met awesomely contributing and moral in this world. They have role models and hero's in their lives at every turn that they take. Thanks to all of you. And you DON'T have to know me to have had this affect on my family. I must really stress that. You might not know them. But they certainly know most of you. Thank you seems like such lame words right now. Wolfy [Posted in FML issue 5241]
