The generosity with which you share your love with others, and the steadfastness of your virtues, have been a great inspiration to me. I hope I tell you how much I love and respect you often enough.

Well, you have just delivered one of the best presents I have received this holiday season. Please accept my virtual hug now, and be ready for a real one we meet again. It's been too long.

So true, your words. Though I don't have the confidence of expressing it as openly, at least I do tell others I appreciate them and what they're doing. But I'll work on that.

Many thanks.

As I said, love's a word I always throw around, but there are many ways to express affection and support for others. I appreciate your steadfast friendship.

I must admit that the first thought I had when reading your article was, I need to get a dog.

DeeceX's avatar

Dogs are the best! I've been very lucky to have some great ones in my day.

What a blessing to be friends with you and Doug! You're part of my Marathon community, which is now my home.

My younger brother taught me this phrase: "I love you and there's nothing you can do about it." Just accepting that others love us may take some

getting used to but there's nothing we can do about it. So Merry Christmas my friend. Yep--I love you and there's nothing you can do about it.

DeeceX's avatar

Your younger brother has some serious wisdom there. Accepting love from others requires us to accept ourselves.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, and I am grateful for our friendship.

Thanks for the great story to one of the most talented men I know. Great story and a truly great Song, I have not heard in a long time. It means a lot to me.

The best of Holidays to you my friend, keep up the great work, the good people of Texas need your perspective! Things must change, the corruption has gone on too long❤️🎄
