2007 goes down as being one of the WORST years of my life...
It is NO exaggeration to say that Ralphie & I came close to being on the street a number of times over the past 12 months...
It is also NO exaggeration to say that the reason we survived and are still together and actually getting back on our feet/paws is due 100% to the extreme KINDNESS & GENEROSITY of so many wonderful people here on the EO...
I wish I could have sent XMAS presents to EVERYBODY on the EO who did so much for us, but, if I did, I'D BE BROKE ALL OVER AGAIN ()...
So, I limited Ralphie's SANTA BAG to my three GRAND-MUNCHKINS, and to my TWO FRIENDS here who really KNOCKED MY SOCKS OFF with their support...
We will never be able to adequately express our appreciation to EVERYBODY here who saved us, other than to say, once again: THANK YOU ONE & ALL!

Pretty, pretty, pretty! Ralphie, you outdid yourself!
Tom, I'm so glad that things are turning around for you and Ralphie. It never fails to amaze me just how much we are able to endure and just how well we are able to come out of some of life's biggest trials. I know from experience that just when things look the bleakest, someone turns on a light. I'm glad for any help, as little as it was, that I was able to provide.
Blessings to the both of you and the most joyous of New Years. I just know that 2008 is going to be a great year for the both of you. Just hold on until November (you know what I mean!!).
