My grandparents both passed in mid 2000's and the big family gatherings stopped. I really miss that around the holidays. So I was feeling pretty down when fellow CP member musth pmed me and asked if he could have my mailing address, he wanted to send me a little something. I was touched that a complete stranger would reach out like that (many of you have and it really makes a difference!) And I gave him my info. The next thing I know musth is at my door here in Ontario with a beautiful Flames jersey! I was expecting something small in the mail and this guy made the trip down here to personally hand me a jersey! I can honestly say that made my holidays, it lifted my spirits and I actually had a great Christmas with my boys and family. One strangers gesture put me from a 1 to about a 6 which is better than I have been in years. I hope everyone else going through hard times had a great holiday and thanks to musth for making a difference in a fellow CPer's life.

I just clued in that he’s the one who started this thread too. For some reason, that makes what he did even cooler.
