    Tricky Dicky.
    Yes he is quite handy and looks after himself. He was the one into all the boxing and cage fighting. Another sport I objected to. But he was happy and I don't stick my nose in. And thankyou so very much. I do show him the mails so he knows we are all with him.

    I just have to ask who donated the enormous amount today. We know it came from the forum but it was kept anonymous But really it was way to much even I did only around half of that. I should give you back at least half as you have now made me feel guilty. But I don't suppose you will tell so I am truly bowled over by how kind you are.
    Joe God Bless You And Yours.

    Sometimes the hardest thing to do in life is accept a gift -I speak from personal experience. Just look at it like a gift is a gift and don't even think about the amount.

    (It wasn't me.)

    Yes I do and young Charlie will be closer to his goal. I was just taken aback. I say thankyou to someone terrific and wish them all the nice things that can be had. And my Boy was elated and rushed 50 miles to tell me and to send his thanks.
    Joe.

    I just accepted how much a big softie I am as I sat here crying my eyes out. For Charlie I pray there is a divine father out there and he reads all your posts and sees how you all reached out to help a young lad. God Bless you all. I do love you all for being the people you are.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Always thought I was a hard nut. Found out since this post I am a big pussy. I love you all for the kind hearted people you are. And if Charlie reads some of these posts its got to lift his spirit. God bless you all. You are the best.
    Regards
    Joe.

    @joe mc donald
    Joe, thank you for sharing this video of of your son. I'm not surprised to hear his kind words. You and your son are clearly an example of the saying, "like father, like son" and in the case of the two of you, you are like each other in wonderful ways--being kind and giving to name just two. Though your son doesn't know me, please tell him I'm proud of him and what a great thing he is doing for Charlie. :kissing_heart: :heart:

    P.S. It's terrific to see you back on the forum, my friend. :) Even if just to share this video and update this thread about Charlie.

    The boy said thanks and appreciates all the support and wishes he has gained from the forum. And again the money came flooding in yesterday. You people are so fantastic. So much so he was contacted by the family via his page and they said how overwhelmed they are at such kindness and have sent regards and love to all on here.
