In the Holy Shit department...
Oct. 18th, 2003 01:40 pmSo today I get out of the car from picking up some things from the store. I get a little card from Anne (
netmouse) and Bill (
murphyw)...
So I open it up and stop on my way up the stairs to by apartment. You see, it's a card. And inside is a check for a large sum, with a note that it's not to be spent on pratical things, but instead on stuff for Eleri's birthday. (Oh, and that the numbers on the check added up to 5.) So I stared at it for a while and then hustled inside to call Anne about it. I haven't gotten ahold of her yet.
But I wanted to post here to let everyone know how much I appreciate this and what a nice thing that Anne and Bill have done for us. In fact, I doubt I could ever express it properly.
I've had a few windfalls lately from people, and people helping out with Miri's bills and such - my late friend Art's insurance, the constant support from Ryan and Jenn and from El's parents, the money from Kit and Hlynna, loans from gundo, and now this.
I don't know what I did to deserve such enormous generosity in my life. I hope someday that can pay some fraction of it back or forward.
