Look at the email I received yesterday from
the father of one of the soldiers I ship boxes to the camp his son
is in.
This is the father who makes the stickers I
sell to help with postage money.
We've never met in
person.
His son, Tim, is serving in Kirkuk,
Iraq.
When I receive emails like this, it makes
all this work worthwhile.
I think the greatest thing any of us can do
is to touch a life.

love you get.

Gifts from an Angel
Our son Tim is in the Army and is stationed in Kirkuk, Iraq. A few weeks
before Christmas he
was called by his Sergeant to pick up his mail.?When Tim arrived at the
mail hall his Sergeant
handed him a few letters and a box from us. Tim said thank you and turned
to leave. Tim then heard,
"Garvey, you didn't get all of your mail!" as he turned back to the table,
the man pointed toward a
door down the hall. Tim asked what was in there, and was told, "The
Rest Of Your Mail!"
Tim went into the mail sorting room and was greeted by a lady who sorting
boxes, placing them on tables,
she?didn't look too happy to see him. He asked her if she had more mail for
him. She told him, yes! he
asked her which box was his. She laughed and pointed to the table filled
with boxes. Which one is mine?
he asked again. "All of them" she said, "and I had to carry them!"
Tim called me a few days later and asked, "Dad, who is this Lady in
Alabama?" I told him about my friend
named Sharon who used to live in Michigan. "She is a friend I have never
met and had only had talked
to on the phone," I told him. Sharon has spent her whole life helping
people, "people like you!" I said.
I tried my best to explain how my friend Sharon was like an Angel, the only
thing she was missing was her wings.
"Dad, there was 50 boxes!" They are full of candy, jerky, fudge and all
kinds of wet naps and soap,
lots and lots of soap, he said. Dad what do I do with all the stuff we
can't use. I told him to leave it out on
the mail table and it will find a home.?
A week later Tim told us most of the excess stuff found a home in a few
days, and anything that didn't
was given to the Chaplains to distribute to the places were it was needed.
Tim said he felt like Santa
Clause and the Chaplains told him how happy the ones who received the gifts
he had given.
He said it made him feel proud to help others he didn't even know.
I thanked Tim and told him how proud we were of him. I then told him, "Now
you know how it feels
to be an Angel, an angel just like my friend Sharon.
God bless you always Sharon!
You touched the heart of our little boy and we will never forget.
