That is great, I lost a classmate who lost his legs in Nam. He killed his self, many of us didn't understand PTSD at the time. I think he was asking for help, silently and we had no Idea of what to watch for. I was 18 at the time.

My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

WTG, Ron. Talk about the true meaning of Xmas, this is it. Then again, we should expect nothing less from a man who drives a convertible Cabrio!

Great offer Ron.  I am glad I had the opportunity to meet you and your family this year and I know the offer was heartfelt and serious.  If anyone needs it I hope they take you up on it.  I hate talking on the phone so I could not offer that.  But if anyone wants to go for a hike, fish or dive I am all in to help you get your mind off whatever you need to not focus on for a bit. 

I had some pretty screwed up Christmases from my childhood that still cause depression on the best of years.

This is way I love this group so much !!!! Ron way to make everyone remember what this time of year is all about.
My wife just got back from taking her elderly mom Christmas shopping. It is very hard on her, her mom has had several strokes. She took her mom to lunch and when she asked for the bill, her server said it has already been taken
care of. She would not say who, I said she would tell them how much she appreciated it. It is the random acts of
kindness that makes me get my faith back in people.
     I Then open up my computer and read the post by Ron. Just when you think we are doomed, the world is going to
hell in a hand basket, bam your faith is renewed !!!!! Now it's our turn to pay it Forward!!! 
     So random stranger and Ron, Thank you so much !!!!!!!
