Was just out with my daughter and it's funny that I was just telling her of something similiar to your post Box :mj03: ....1/2 a unit on the way. Merry Christmas :toast:
Missed the mail today--but it will be in there tomorrow--Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!!
Holly Cow. Unreal.I'm speechless or cyberspeechless.Everyones responses are awesome.I have tears in my eyes reading this.I never let my wife near these sites.She of course knows I'm on them but it's a "given" this is my space.Think in a little while I'm going to call over to the computer and let her read what you all wrote.
Tomr. Herb will take the elevator down to the 1st floor with his aid.Billy says he is very meticulous.The aid puts all his mail on his lap.Herb will talk to some people in the lobby and then go up stairs. He will be floored...he has no idea what so ever.For the last 30 yrs he has the same routine.Tomr his life will change just a little.
Billy is going to call him and play stupid...and then call me with all the details.
Madjack..thank you so much for letting me do this.I know you have strict rules here about things like this.Thank you for giving me permission.
I sent my check out today but with my name on it like I do every year.
One of the greatest joys in my life is helping others.You cannot have a perfect day without helping others.You people here are helping someone and are expecting nothing in return.That is what the real gift is all about.
I've said this before here.Ralph Waldo Emerson says it better then anyone else.
"Rings and jewels are not gifts,but apologies for gifts.The only true gift is a portion of thyself".
Again thank you all for giving of yourself.
I'll get an update and give you play by play or day by day of Herb and his guardian angels..

You know what would be kind of cool. Some sort of map(world probably with everyone that belongs to MJ's) and have Herb and his aide put a thumb tack or pin where each envelope was postmarked. I'm sure they would both get a kick out of where all these envelopes are coming from.
Just an idea.

Box, you've never been one to make a long story short...but always a good read.....
Thanks for allowing us to bring a little Xmas spirit to someone who can appreciate it.
My envelope is coming from the left coast, but it's on it's todays mail.
Merry Christmas to you and your family

Box,
Just wanted to say great story and happy holidays. I sent mine out today. I have also passed the story along to some of my family and friends. Take care.

I view this site occasionally, but havent posted in a long time.. I'd be delighted to contribute the $7 I have left in my pocket to Herb
Thanks for the post Box! I feel like I am the one benefitting from knowing I am helping someone else this Christmas! So thank you and God Bless You!
