Re: I hope I did the right thing...this is long!

What you did brought tears to my eyes. That was a very kind act. Hope is all we have and if we can draw strength from each other and give strength and hope to those we don't know but in need, it is a wonderful gesture. Don't think twice - what you did was wonderful!
