Our 2014 wasn’t a very great year. December didn’t buck our monthly downward trend. But about a week after I found out I had kidney disease, I saw a social media post from John Dobbs about buying Christmas presents for those in need who were part of the group. There was no guarantee the Amazon wish list I posted would be looked at by people who would provide a few gifts, but indeed, it was.
Our family was very blessed by God through his caring people. We received some life necessities that are much needed, I guess that’s why they call them necessities. We were very thankful for the toilet paper, soap, shaving cream, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razor blades and deodorant. You gift givers know who you are.
In addition to necessities, my wife was blessed with $25 worth of minutes for her phone and she received a very nice pair of winter gloves. My son received an awesome football and a first basemen’s glove. Baseball practice has begun and we think our son will get some playing time at first base. He also received a nice sweatshirt that keeps him warm at practice. He also received Nike socks he loves.
I was blessed with a Chicago Cubs hat. Maybe they’ll do better this year. I hope so. And I was blessed with some awesome Hershey chocolates. I’m sure those were all for me, right John?
We really wouldn’t have had much of a Christmas, at least not gift wise, without the help of everyone in the group.
“THANK YOU”
goes out to James Riley, Janice Garrison, Jeremy McKeel, John & Maggy Dobbs and Scott Elliot and others who either wished to remain anonymous or in the haste to open presents, my son lost their “from” notes. Okay, it was really my haste to open presents.
We did look back on the wish list and did see one gift did not arrive at our house. But this could be some filtering error on Amazon’s part, but if anyone sent a gift our way but didn’t see it listed above, please forgive me for not thanking you. It was an oversight on the part of the post office or UPS, not the Humek family.
Many blessings to you all in 2015. Remember, if you haven’t downloaded one of my ebooks for free, I’ll let you know the next time I make them available at no cost, it’s the least I can do for you. Maybe I should name a character after each of you in my next novel. That’d be fun wouldn’t it?
