With Christmas just around the bend I asked the sweet smelling one for some ideas of what she wanted for Christmas. Without any hesitation she said she just wanted to help a needy family like we did last year. Done. One phone call and it was taken care of and I didn't even have to wade through the masses.
Her quick concise answer made me realize how blessed I am and how people are so different. I reflected on my first wife and how she once considered giving blood to the Red Cross. She discussed it with me, her friends and anyone who would listen to her. The words must have really felt good coming off her lips because that is all she talked about for weeks. Maybe months. She truly liked the idea of giving the blood. Such sacrifice and such a noble gesture. Though she never actually gave one drop of blood is irrelevant I think, because as they say, its not the gift itself but the thought that counts. She is a good person and if you don't believe me just ask her. She will tell you. Why I ever culled her is beyond me. :lol2:
