You can't imagine how much I value the contents, not the check, I had never before thought what a hard time you have had and as I picture in my imagination the hardships that you have gone through with, it inspires me to do the best I can with the privileges I have. I hope you can find time to spend Xmas (Expanded: Christmas)
