man Chris, that sounds awesome!
I can't believe what that kid must've thought! I'm sure u really helped that family out! that is absolutely amazing! You must've felt like a bazillion dollars. Its times like that when you realize that money really isn't worth a whole lot unless it can put a smile on another person's face. Thats great, and I'm glad that my present helped bring back a few memories.

But k, one little thing. I was talking to my "sorta" yf while I was reading your post, and guess what ... WE'RE EXCHANGING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS!! Man, I am sooo excited! Like totally pumped. It may seem fairly insignificant to most of you, but two me, who gets to see the kid maybe once every 3 months and talks to him maybe once every 3 weeks, this is awesome. I can't wait. Even if it is a christmas orange, I don't care. And I will keep it forever. In twenty years I will have a pile of compost in the corner of my closet that used to be the christmas orange from my "sorta" yf, and I wouldn't be happier!

Anyways, looks like christmas is lookin up for me - I hope it is for everyone else!!! Have a wonderful, love filled, merry Christmas!!!

Graces of God,
Deliverance
