I have this amazing friend. His love for his family is boundless and pure.
He always takes time out of his busy stressfull days to send me little "I'm thinkin about you" texts or phone calls (that I still have saved on my phone and liste
n to sometimes when I need some cheering up.) And it never fails that these little tokens of caring and concern come on days when I just want to sink to my knees and cry. Now he lives in Louisiana and I in California. His birthday is the day after mine and I feel that as Gemini's we have a strange bond.... And he just proves its true time and time again.....
I have hopefully entertained some of you. Some of you I may know personally, I'm asking you to pay it forward now. Any small donation I may be able to garner from this blog will go a long way in helping someone who obviously goes out of his way to help others. This is no joke or scam, he is not asking for donations to line his pockets; but to get things DONE. This is not someone who "just doesn't want to work" or is too lazy/irresponsible to save money on his own. This is my friend who I have seen pick himself up, dust himself off, and move on from one disappointment to another, and then start to scrape together his life again. He moved from Louisiana to California on his own, got work, made a life, befriended a bitchy waitress or two (me and a couple others... But mainly me ;)) and let everyone he met into his heart.
We can either help him fix a house that is becoming dilapidated, or we can help them get the home they deserve.
Johns closeness with his sister mirrors the closeness I have with my brother. And in these trying and stressful times while I wait for J, I do not know what I would do without my brother. So I know what this would mean to John and his sister.
