Good Morning All! "Dear Danny," Dear Danny, I have been subscribing to your Daily's free list for well over a year now, and I'm sure you hear it often enough, but I must say thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You see, my grandfather is 84 years old. He's in good health for a man that age, although now and days he doesn't like to do much more then sit in his recliner and watch a baseball game. We figure heck, he's 84, he worked until he was 75, he's been in two wars, he even coached a minor league baseball team for 20 years. The man can do what he wants. A few months ago, he had a minor stroke. It wasn't anything major, he didn't suffer any long term effects, but they did keep him in the hospital for a few nights for observation. On my designated day to sit with him, I had just gotten back from a 3 week vacation. I had printed off my copies of "Danny's Daily's," and had taken them with me to read while my grandfather rested. My grandfather and I are very close. We worked together for years at the local ballpark and we've watched thousands of games together in my lifetime. We've been to hundreds. My grandfather is my hero and we've always been known to share jokes with each other. Anyway, as I sat in the corner giggling and snickering at your jokes, he woke up and wanted to know what was so funny. So, for the next hour, I read him all of your jokes, from all six of the newsletters I had with me. It was the most I had seen him laugh in years and I felt closer to him then I've ever felt in my life. I joined the Inner Circle just to get even more jokes for my grandfather. Now, every Tuesday and Friday, I print off your jokes, stop by the local Dairy Queen and get two Banana Splits. Then I drive to the assisted living facility that my grandfather lives in. His face lights up like a small child's and the first thing he says is "did you bring some more jokes for me?" So thank you Danny. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You not only brought me closer to my grandfather, you also provide some happiness and some joy to an old man's life. Please, never doubt that what you do by publishing and sending your emails out every week is worth it. You will NEVER know how much that means to me. God bless you... Always. Christy H.
Thank you so much Dear Christy; you made my year! Well gang? What can I say? That is the "Mission:" This is what it's all about: Touching others; who then may touch even more others. The gift of laughter works that way. It's really all we have in life and is most precious... This is Why I do What I do: The Rest Just Happened... Our reach is much deeper then the numbers suggest... I believe this is the reason God continues to bless it. What started out some 7 years ago as a tiny email e-zine has grown into one of the most long lived, most respected e-zines on the planet. You don't know what it feels like to say that gang: It's so strange, me? It's just unbelievable and it's true. More importantly, the mission is still pure. Believe Me, We are Needed. Those of you on the free list that can? Please help us help them. It's only 15 dollars a year and it goes to hundreds of thousands of souls: "Somewhere Out There!" Just Click Here to join.
Thank You Friends. Thank You from the Bottom of My Heart! Danny |
