26. I was hoping you'd post this again
It is one of the most powerful, eloquent uplifting, emotional and inspiring pieces I have read on the Internet or elsewhere. I read it last year and was so moved and touched by it that I bookmarked it. It means a lot to us who are going through our own tough journeys through life

It's too late for this Christmas but, next Christmas, you should really think about getting that published somewhere. As a letter to the editor in a newspaper, or as a column or something. I'm sure there would be many people in the wider community who could be moved and inspired by those words

May you have a safe, enjoyable, wonderful and blessed Christmas. May it be the best Christmas ever. And the same to your family. :yourock:
