I received this email Thursday, from a new, super awesome friend:
Emily,
My son "S" and his friend had a lemonade stand today to raise money for your run. They ran around the park with the signs that made telling everyone that you were going to run for a whole day to raise money for a shelter for mommies and kids and that they were helping out by selling lemonade. I was impressed that they were not shy and didn't get discouraged when people didn't buy. They were really happy when they did make a sale. It was a great experience for them. They are looking forward to meeting you!

So yes, I am a slightly emotional being but . . .
the
tears
of
gratitude
flowed.
Amazing.
Random. Acts. Of. Complete. Awesomeness.
Day. Made.
Thank you so very much "L" for telling them about what I am doing.
Children are amazing.
They see [or hear about] a need and they know just how to help.
I thank you and your dear family and friends.
[one week from now.......I'll be resting soundly in bed.......and I might be wearing my new belt buckle.]

Children do what Grown Ups should. Good for them!
If I wasn't so manly I would have shed a little tear. Seriously, that was a touching email. Very, very cool.
How cool! Those kids are a couple of good eggs!
If the children are our future, then we're in very good hands. Kids are all about acting on impulse, something as adults we sometimes forget can be a VERY good thing. Love it!
