Losing a Hero
 

I sit here in tears knowing someone I have secretly admired for years is dying. I patterned my own little (itsy-bitsy, teensy-weensy by comparison) Xmas tradition after his. Here is the story. Be sure to look at the slide show.

A good man.

I read this story the other day. It's very inspiring.

I just saw his pic flashed via CNN as I was passing a store & thought it might be on Pixies. I thought it'd be a good story & it is. Unbelievable. He kinda reminded me of WI, too. :)

It's sad that he needed protection. (In 1989 some people chased his car after seeing the cash he carried.)

I was walking up Bay St. the other night & saw an older man lying on a sidewalk grate rolling what looked like no tobacco into a rolling paper. I passed him five or six cigarettes & the look on his face & the way he raised his arm in a goodbye still brings tears to my eyes.

:cheers: Secret Santa

An angel in disguise.

I've spent so much time recently being horrified by the greed of our society...yet now I am humbled.

Sometimes I just wish the good stuff was a little closer to the surface.

Unbelievable.

I live in the KC area and have wondered for years who the Secret Santa is. He was going to be interviewed on NPR the other day and I missed it somehow.

This sucks.

I gave a guy on the street corner $20 today...I was thinking about this story, about how lucky I am, and about how little I give back.

When the guy looked up at me in surprise, I just blew him a kiss. :)

Good Job!

What a truly remarkable story. One man, making a difference, one person at a time.

Here's another really good concept put into action.

His day has come ... his good deeds here are done.

Secret Santa passes

The saddest part is that the virtue he displayed should be all around us. He more illustrates it's general loss, not a random resurgence.

Spot on ^^^ ............................. again.
