Default A Thank you to PTO from the inside

I wasn't quite sure which was the best forum to post this in so I went for the general forum. Hope people see it.

My son Chad got birthday cards from several folks here at PTO. It blew him away.
I went to see him and he said, "Mom! I got like 20 birthday cards from these people I don't even know! It was really cool. It really made my whole week brighter. And it was right when I was feeling most down." He was smiling. You guys really made a difference.
He said he is short on stamps so he can't answer everyone, but he wanted me to tell you all a big thank you. He says it was really cool that perfect strangers would take the time to encourage him on his birthday.

And thank you from me. You have all just blessed my socks off.
(This mom is smilin for the first time in a long time.)


Sincerely,
Cheri

That is so awesome. It just shows that we have a wonderful family here at PTO that really do take what it takes to make a little happiness for those that are on inside. I am glad we got a smile in there for you too.
