This'll put a smile on your face for the day...
« on: April 20, 2010, 09:57:00 AM »
My wife and I returned home wore out from a long road trip Sunday evening and this letter was in the mail along with a nice check for the kids at St Jude. Now I've received many fine donations from many fine people but this one touched my heart. Can't say much more than I wish Seth was close enough for me to give him a huge hug!  

Mike you and your wife are obviously doing things right and have plenty to be proud of there, Seth you are the man.   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:  

"Doug,

Have meant to send this to you earlier but got busy.  This in my son Seth, he is 8 soon and is a good boy, healthy and very cerebral in everything.  He’s not a hunter yet but goes with me just to make me happy.  He loves other kids and will grow up to do great things for other people someday.  He has sent money to St Jude for several years now.

Three months ago he started collecting cans.  He calls it “Cans for Kids”.  The idea was to get money for the aluminum and send to St Jude.  So here is 3 months worth of work for Seth.  He wanted me to send it to you after he found out about the St Jude project with Tradgang.  We also donated a bow, he and I will be watching the auction next month.

My wife and I are Nurses. We both did our month long pediatrics rotation at St Jude.  All I can say is that bravery is not defined without mentioning those kids.  Working in our Clinic we see folks who complain about silly aches and pains a lot.  I sometimes want to show them pictures of some of those kids….

God Bless and Thanks Again,
Mike

His thought about "bravery is not defined without mentioning those kids" is a very powerful statement.
