““Here’s a heartfelt thanks to the wonderful children who wrote me a Christmas card. You are too young to understand how much an act of kindness can mean to someone who has no family. I hope you will continue to do acts of kindness for people and animals. I pray that you have a wonderful life filled with joy and peace.””
