I came back from a bowling competition and when I opened the door I noticed a funny look in my children's faces. Even my wife was behaving strangely. It didn't take long before I found out that they had a suprise for me. They handed me a bag with something in it and revealed that members of APS donated money to make me feel better about the loss of Georgina.
I was so deeply touched that I couldn't find the words to thank you properly on the live video stream. I can't imagine how much effort it must have taken to keep the secret from me. I am suprised that even my daughter, SlateGal didn't say a word, because she has built up a reputation to be a blabbermouth.
I have called the snake "Suprise" because I had no idea that something like this was coming. In my age you don't get that many suprises and definately not that many pleasant ones. The most comforting thought was that so many people cared about me and my misfortune.
I feel very privaledged to have so many good friends and I would sincerely thank everyone involved. Thanks to
Nicole (Nicole) - for organising the whole thing from scratch
David (lutzd) - for driving all the way to Gosford to check out Suprise
And the following people who made this possible: Shauna (kv2002), Glen (hawkeye), Phil (africanfishythingy), Dale (dahorse), Mark (Mark), David (almaron), James (James), Grahman (grahamh), Michael & Mary (cooktownmick), Laura (Pinkie), Craig (Magpie), Melanie (Mel), Sue (stretch), Ali (cookolla) and Maia (maybanana).
