Dave, let me give you an idea of what sort of an impact this gift you sent meant to us all. I think your hope was to brighten everyone's day who is close to me and has felt so down since Sandy hit us here in Toms River...so let me tell you that you succeeded in every way imaginable. You have gone way above & beyond my friend.
Guys, I won't insult what Dave did by calling it a bomb, what he did was send an incredible message of positive thoughts and prayers from so far away. We don't normally describe what a person sends when they do this sort of thing...but I'm making an exception because the CP Community needs to know just what kind of man Dave is. He sent 2 large boxes from his home state of EVERYTHING Hawaiian. Macadamia nuts in all sorts of coatings and flavors. Bags hard candies, dried fruits, sour treats, boxes coconut balls, jars of flavor coated popcorn, and numerous packages of coffee. Oh, he even managed to squeeze in some of the most expensive cigars that Cuba produces today.
He enclosed a note that really hit home and frankly is too emotional to share. All he requested is that I share what he sent with the folks around our house to bring a little cheer where there is so much despair. Dave, this morning as the excavator got to our block and started picking up all our ruined possessions and filling truck after truck as each homeowner watched, I went out there and gave them one of your gifts. Six families have now been the beneficiary of your kindness...and there will be more. There were a lot of smiles as they opened up what you gave them right then & there and shared it with their group. Pretty cool stuff to see as the conversation turned from unhappy to happy.
From the bottom of my heart, I can't thank you enough for your kindness...and my neighbors thank you too!
Your thoughts and prayers came through loud clear from thousands of miles away....mission accomplished my friend.
