After just reading the story about Summer, this was certainly a story I needed to hear. There are many wonderful people, but most of the time you only hear about the low lifes of the world. Thank God for the likes of Pam and Jimmy Blanton! Thank you for sharing.

Great Story Dennis.There is hope.

Re: A true christmas story
 

For several years I set a couple families up with Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners. Also fed them anytime they were hard up. Never asked for anything in return. Id do the same today. I never had a pot to piss in then but it was certainly more than they had.

Its a super warm feeling to help others and very humbling to know for everyone you can help theres lots out there who never recieve it for whatever reason.

Thanks for the Story Mr. Cook Merry Christmass and Happy Holidays to all.
