Michael,
Welcome to Ourecho. When I began reading this story, I knew I had read it somewhere before. It is a great story. I have been told that a smile is the most contagious thing in the world and you spread a lot of it. Keep on doing it. It is good for us.

What a splendid memoir of that special time in your life, Michael! Nicely written, and a heartwarming reminder that people can be so supporting of perfect strangers. Carol

Hi Mike,
I love this story of yours, and am now about to read your winning post about the bookmark. As I read, then re-read about you waving from the window to the vehicles/people in traffic, it warmed my heart and made me realize anew that happiness is extra-special when others share it with us. I hope your daughter will pass this story along to her own children some day. For certain they will love it, too.
Sincerely,
Sandi in FL.

You created pure magic here with your inspirational story. I smiled, and I cried, and I love the way you write. Grinning as I sign my name because you "happied-me-up", as my sister Sandi in FL would say! ~ Susan :)

Michael, you never once made a fool of yourself. All those days, what a gift you gave to those friends and yes, even your boss. I wonder if you know how much God loves you to use you to help so many others. I know and thanks.
