Real Men Do Cry (Never Forget…)

To Absent Friends...

Where was I that day?  I was in bed.  I was laid off and feeling sorry for myself.  My phone rang and someone asked me if I heard the news?  “Who cares,” I said, “same old, same old.”  I turned the TV on after they hung up on me.

I saw, I heard, I got my ass out of bed and went to the blood bank.  Then I maxed out my credit cards sending what I could to those who needed it.  Needless to say, I no longer felt sorry for myself  I was in shame of my selfishness.

From that day forward, mankind has been my business.  I don’t give till it hurts, I give till it’s gone.  I am a religious man.  And I pray every night for strength and guidance to go forward, helping whomever I can.  And I can’t save everyone.  And I thank G-d for all of the unsung heroes who put their lives on the line for others.  The work is never-ending and the burden is great.  We need everyone to help.

Never forget.  Never stop trying to end Hell on earth.  I love you all and there is nothing you can do about it.
