Just a quick diary.
I wanted to, in this back and forth primary season to specifically call out 2thanks for his kindness of last night.
You might know of my health issues, which I will not go into here. As a result fo them I cannot drive, and am forced to rely either on caregivers, relatives, Uber, the kindness of friends, etc;
Last night, for the 3rd time in less than 2 weeks I had to be rerushed to the ER for kidney stone issues;
It’s a long story, but I have a stent in the right side, and stones in both sides. I had pain in both sides. Turns out the pain killer they gave me was not working and so I had to get a series of blood tests, X-rays, dopplers. etc., and ended up with a new script. But that’s not the point of this dairy.
The point is…..I had no way to get to the hospital. But one. I have developed a special friendship with a fellow user on here, 2thanks, who had offered to take me to the hospital if I ever needed to go again. He lives about 15 minutes from me and sure enough last night in the time of emergency, without question, his kindness and caring came thru and not only did he pick me up, but he sat with me until 3 AM until I got discharged at the ER.
So the important point, the point not to forget. While we might be arguing with one another on here, while we might want to bang our heads with that mysterious person on the other end on the keyboard interwebz, don’t forget, it could well be someone like 2thanks, who is as caring and compassion as all get out.
That is what seperates us from redstate, and the like. We’re a community of caring individuals. We care about one another. Be it pooties, music diaries, cancer diaries, fundraisers… at the end of the day we’re made up of people. And it is time, I think, that the special actions of one such people :) gets called out and recognized :)
