Default Speechless Gratitude

Well I got back safe and sound last night from flying up to Huntsville, Alabama for my sister's services. Tough to go through. However, I titled this Speechless Gratitude because the generosity of some, unbeknownst to me, members of this wonderful place assisted in making it possible for me to make the trip. I am therefore speechless.

The people here never cease to amaze me. All who were so generous as to help me to go to my sister's services and to be there for a few days for my nephews and my brother-in-law, who was my best friend growing up, have my unending love and gratitude. It also allowed me to be there, along with my sister's friend, to take control of another situation that happened out of the blue so they didn't have to.

Friday night my nephews each smoked a SPDM and had a mojito with me as I shared some growing up stories of their mom with them. It was great, something I will always cherish.

Again, Thank you all soooo much.

Wow. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. How sad to lose a beloved sister. I'm glad you have warm loving memories to share with your family.

For other BOTL's to help out financially like this is fantastic. I'm very glad to be a part of such a great community of people.
