I've seen him before and left cans out for him.... but this morning - it's COLD and Christmas time....
Oh wow - I felt SO bad for him that I ran in the house and got what cash I had (which was NOT much) and ran back outside - he was so embarrassed to be in the trash - and when I handed him the little bit of money - he actually got tears in his eyes.
THAT is how I feel when I've been blessed by some of the members of this site and I wanted to share this....That little old man who doesn't speak English kissed my hand and went on his way and I felt very good that even though WE are struggling - I could so something that small and feel so good.....
THIS IS WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT ....and to the yorkietalk members who made ME feel like that little old man ....Thank YOU.... |
Villette,
I haven't been on for, it seems like ages, due to my mother's death and dealing with a new little puppy, but I always look for your posts because they are alwayse so uplifting and helpful. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year. This has been a very hard year for me, and I hope I never live through another one like it, but there are blessings all around me in the friends that surround me. I really would like to also thank the members here who have been so much help to me with Copper and Leilani (Daisy). We shortened her name because it is much easier to call her that way. My little sweethearts are doing well, but I am really exhausted. I am enjoying a much needed Winter Break from school. Best wishes to all of the wonderful friends I have met on this forum.
