Thanks for the reminder. I found the auction last year.
I think there were a few items I was going to bid on.

I know right? Bad auction

I haven’t heard from Susan myself. Perhaps someone else has?

Off topic but has anyone heard how Susan M and her DH are doing? It’s been so long since she has posted, and I’ve been thinking of her a lot.

I just spent an hour on Brenda’s auction site instead of doing paperwork. Bad Brenda! tempting me like that!

Wow, Louisa – your CP is inspiring! My thoughts are with her in her own health struggles. Kudos to her for her dedication to others when she herself is in pain.

Judy – I think that caregivers of any kind are heroes, especially ones with the sensitivity to also care for the family.

I remember when DH had cancer years ago. The surgeon saved his life, but never gave me a smidge of information. Later, DH’s oncologist was a real hero. He also saved my husband’s life, but took the time to make sure I was okay, too.

And kudos to your friend who is walking for the liver transplant. That is my next goal – to walk for cancer research. (I’m afraid that running a marathon is not in my immediate or long-term future.)

Madeline – that’s exactly what I mean. A real hero doesn’t do it to be recognized, but because there is a need and it’s the right thing.

LisaK – how lovely that your mom helped you through such an emotional time, lightening your mood! I was also bullied by the kids at school growing up. It’s a very powerless way to live. I’m so glad your mom lifted you above it.

Nicole, yes, our armed forces are heroes indeed! We live free every day because of their sacrifice.

Brenda – way to go to break the record! Yes!

What wonderful, inspiring stories! And I agree, Brenda is a true hero. Her auction is just amazing.

My immediate heroes are my late dad and my bro, who have served in four wars between them and have the medals of valor to prove it. There are so many members of the U.S. Armed Services who sacrifice so much every day for the rest of us, and their families too. Thanks and kudos to them all.
