Happy Friday! I wanted to share with you all that I have received a letter regarding my super hero duck saving abilities. (See post 5/22: http://cagneyking.weebly.com/1/post/2008/05/cagney-kingsuper-hero.html)

A very kind resident from a near by town wrote:

Dear Cagney King:

"Although this letter is a little late, I want to tell you that you made my day when I read the article, 'Mama duck, Babies in distress! Waddle we do?' I think it is remarkable that you took time to help the mama duck and babies. Some people might say "what the heck, taht isn't my problem," and ignore the mama ducks problem. It was so good to read a good news item. I enjoy telling my friends and family about the mama duck situation and how you took time to ease the mama duck's distress. I had cut the article out of the newspaper and had laid it aside. I just wanted you to know I think that was a remarkable story to read."

This person did not leave me a return address. I wish she had, as I definitely would have written back, and have welcomed the new friendship. Well, my friend, if you are out there...and happen upon this blog - It is I that thank YOU for taking the time to realize that among all the horrible day to day bad news, that we were able to spread a little smile and sunshine. I hope that more people were touched by the story...but to know that I reached somebody and touched thier heart, makes me very happy indeed.

I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

Be sure to come back soon! As I have nearly finished another character and will be introducing her to you next week! So stay tuned!

I would also like everyone to take a deep breath, hold hands with the person nearest you, and recognize a moment of silence for my little Tank Man. He died a year ago on June 18th. I still miss my little man so much! There is nothing that can replace the un-ending devotion, love and hearty crankiness that I could come home to everyday and expect...no matter what the day offered me while I was away. We were in-separable...until a year ago...
