And Now For Something Completely Different

A very nice story by my friend about his wife. I think you should check this out and read the whole thing, not just this excerpt. She is an inspiration. I posted this in General Discussion too. Probably more appropriate here.

A Different Kind of Christmas Story

When you think about what garners attention in our society today; the racist and homophobic remarks of the Duck Dynasty idiot, a family of narcissistic self-centered twits dancing around in their “Christmas Jammies”, Miley Cyrus wagging her tongue (and other body parts) or what Beyonce did down at the local Wal-Mart to promote herself, they all pale in comparison to the value or significance of this story. But somehow those are the things that go “viral”. Things that actually make a difference in people’s lives go unrecognized and under appreciated. I know there are plenty of people out there working hard to help others, but there’s only one of them that I’m married to. This is my site, so its my prerogative to tell you about her. I’ll probably get some grief from Jacki for writing this essay but somebody needs to know about what she’s doing other than me and this is a great time of the year to share her story. She thinks its no big deal. I know better.
