This past Friday when I got home from work as normal I get home and sift through my mail pail that my
wife leaves for me at the corner of the kitchen counter. Amongst the ever ending pile of bills and junk mail,
there was a small padded envelope from Crestwood, IL.
I opened the envelope and inside was yet another envelope addressed simply "Theo" (maybe coinsidentally in a "green" envelope
) and inside that envelope was a small christmas card with a $50 gift card inside.
A feeling of graciousness and warmth overcame me, as it does now. The note said "Merry Christmas from you 10 club buddies!" This has been a very financially difficult year for the Green Circle family. I cannot thank you all
who did this enough. It could mean at least a couple more gifts under the tree for my kids (to which they have already been told that it was not going to be a very "big" christmas, or it could we could have a nice traditional Christmas dinner.
To know that I have friends and aquiantanses that would do this for me is amazing to me. I do hope one day I can repay the favor to someone else here who is in need around this holiday time or any time for that matter.
I truly, TRULY feel blessed to belong to such a huge family here. I can't even tell you how much it means to me.
So thank you, thank you from the depths of all our hearts here in MA. in the van Lingen family.
The appreciation I feel for you all is deeper than anyone will know.
With Great Thanks,
Green Circle (aka Theo van Lingen)
