I am grateful for ...

Deb De Hamer: The fact that every day, due to my volunteer work, I have the opportunity to make a small difference in the life of a fellow brother/sister. Be they homeless, ill, lonely, depressed, angry, or just needing a cuppa. With no thanks needed, it's nice to just see a smile, no matter how small, a look of relief, a sigh of 'someone cares'....that's my reward. That's why I do it! That's what I am thankful for!

Darryl Evans: Love and my children.
