It's never easy to hear these stories but it makes me glad for what we could do for him and others like him.
Wow.
I didn't know that's what you did, shel.
How many of us will be that happy in our final days?
Wow.

It will be 4 years in June. And these stories still mess me up for a while.
I have an understanding of what you mean, except that the lives I impacted weren't so bright with promise, most of the time.
I can see why it makes u sad ... yet still happy... do you make dreams and wishes for children come true? Is that what wolf is referring to? If so, then what u do is nothing short of a miracle if you ask me.

Well Wolfe said it right... wow.
I wish my daily working life offered such a personal face to face and honest insight into people and having the chance to do things to help certain people would make me a better man. I guess saying self-gratifying is a selfish way to go about things but that's what it is. You must learn so much about, well, everything.
All I deal with is arsehole mining companies. It's almost the complete opposite. It makes you bitter, seperates you from the things that really matter.
I hope he got to have Mickey at least pat his head before he went to Never Never Land....
