In August of 1999, I received this note. Thankful that I am for this wonderful person.

“Forever and ever I will have a smile inside of me that belongs to you… There will never come a day when I won’t be inspired ,in some personal way,to be wiser or happier or more at peace with myself- because of something you have said or done.And for that,I want to Thank you with all my heart.For doing all the amazing things you do.For going so far out of your way to let me know that my presence in the world does make a difference to someone. I want to THANK YOU for the SMILE in your eyes when you see me, and for that warm and soothing voice on the other end of the line when i pick up the phone. I truly appreciate every single thing that you do. YOu give me feelings that I wouldn’t trade for anything. No one deserves my deepest and most Thankful feelings more than you do. If I know what happiness is it’s all because you taught me what that word really means.”
