Subject: Oh the Luxury of Hot
Water
Dear Bart,
OH, THE LUXURY OF HOT WATER!
Never again will I take the luxury of hot water
for granted, or even the luxury of having indoor plumbing.
I can remember my grandmother being overjoyed
at having cold water piped into the kitchen even though
she still had to use an outhouse and thinking
it was the greatest modern convenience of her lifetime.
How wonderful to sit and soak in a hot tub of
bubbles with the house so warm I don't turn blue drying off afterward.
The plumber came yesterday and installed the
new water heater with a pan under it so I will never again have to
worry about flooding from a leak or a break in
the tank. If there is ever another leak it will go into the pan and
drain out under the house and not soak the carpets.
When I read your emails and saw the message on
your website I was overwhelmed by your generosity and
that of your friends. I kept going back
all day rereading them to make sure it wasn't a dream like the ones
I have been having about hot showers and soaking
in a tub of hot water. LOL
Funny how we don't really appreciate what we
have until we don't have it anymore.
How can I ever thank you! Mere words cannot
express the depth of my gratitude and appreciation to all of you.
Not just for hot water and a warm home but the
hope you all have given me that there are still good, caring people
out there and that we can take back our country
and make it once again the America we grew up being proud of
where everyone counts, not just the wealthy.
I had been so distraught over the coldness and indifference that has
taken over our country but you have renewed my
faith and refreshed my spirit to continue fighting for what is right.
Thank you so much for my hot water and warm home
and especially for the gift of HOPE, it is priceless!
I hope you will let everyone know how much they
are appreciated
and especially you taking the time and interest
to make it happen.
With love to you all,
Hugz,
Kerry, HRH & Kalliope
Not old, just chronologically impaired!

Kerry, it's great to hear that you're back among "the heated."
I think the people who contributed feel almost as good as you do.
I hope you and HRH and Kalliope have a great Christmas, too.
