I'm at work today. I just got off the phone with one of our family men that asked for some help. You people have really stepped up and made a difference.
The gentleman I spoke to, who will remain anonymous, broke down and started crying. That is when all the dust in this plant got to me and my eyes starting leaking...hard...He and his daughter are in shock and awe over the generosity that has been displayed. The Christmas they have will be one of joy and gratitude. This is why I do this every year.
I used to hate the Christmas season, and honestly, I still struggle with it every year. I went through some family related trauma when I was 11 years old and ended up spending Christmas in a hospital bed. That was rough on a kid and since then Christmas has been a very emotional time for me and for my family of origin. There just wasn't much joy in the season for any of us.
Getting out of myself and out of my own head every year doing this thread since Bonedigger asked me to take over has made an everlasting impact on me. I have learned what a blessing it is to reach out to others and to put others ahead of myself.
This has been such a blessing to the families we have helped out and probably even more so for me, so thank you all so very much. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go find a tissue. This dust is really getting to me.
