So my final post (at least for now) on the generosity of strangers is an homage to Terrance Griep.
Mr. Griep contacted me after the notorious post via email. His words were very touching. I never stop getting teary reading the emails. I am shocked and amazed and stunned that my little story affected so many people in so many ways. I am humbled each and every time I read a kind note or comment. And that people took the time to contact me. I love it. I truly do.
So anyway, Terrance sent me an email about enjoying my post.
He then springs it on me that he writes the Scooby Doo comic books, which I’m sure you can imagine Boo adores. He offered to send us an autographed copy, which he then turned into SEVEN autographed copies.7!!! He wanted to make sure that Peanut and Squirt didn’t get left out. (Have you heard anything so sweet?) Not only did he take the time to email me, but also to autograph his work, and send it to us. He also went out of his way to follow up and make sure we received them.
I gave one to each of my shorties for Christmas. Boo was wide-eyed. He could not believe that he had an autographed comic. I’m saving one to have framed. And I gave two to Boo’s little friends that play Scooby Doo with him on the playground. If you remember, one of them is a little girl that dresses as Daphne with him for Halloween.
And that adds up to 6. So what am I doing with the 7th? Giving it away. With the permission of Mr. Griep, of course. I will randomly select a comment from this post on February 1st. I will take all comments up to midnight CST on January 31, 2011. I am very excited about this. It is my first giveaway. And such an awesome one! I may never be able to top it.
Thank you, Terrance Griep! I hope all is well, and that you know how happy you made my little family.
Well how bout an update how is little gay boo doing, does he have a BF yet?
Honestly @Joe you can’t come up with anything more original or intelligent than that lame post? Really, you must be heterosexual. They’re the only ones with such limited vocabularies and closed minds. Pathetic troll.
@Russell- 2 things
First: Don’t lump the rest of us in there with Joe. There are intelligent heteros and then…there’s Joe.
Second: Joe’s got a buddy, Steve.
Clearly, neither of them are very smart, or very kind. Maybe we should hook them up, they already make a nice couple….couple of……
Anyway. Thanks for expressing the feelings I have had since both posts. My first impression was to commment that he was dating Joe’s son but I refrained because Boo obviously would have better taste.
Steve and Joe: Why do you find it neccessary to make such ugly comments here? Are you so unsure of your own masculinity that you need to strike out at a what? 4 year old?
Targeting innocent children….with ugly, uneccessary statements….or targeting them in any way, if you catch my drift…..is the behavior of cowards, bullies and predators. Real men would never abuse a child that way.
oops. late getting to my google reader. Hope Cora enjoys it! lol.
That is sooo cool. Boy have YOY had lemonade out of the lemon those moms gave you. Good job.
Cora
What is Gay Boo up to does he have a BF yet? I wish you all the best
