Dear Precious-to-us-all Valeria,

At last, I am going to TRY to answer your loving post of such great praise.

Before I begin, let me say that deserved or not, I am accepting that beautiful posted gift, because to let it get away from me
would be a terrible loss, to both myself and the generations to come who will someday, I hope, enjoy reading my memoirs.

In recent days, while thinking about what you had to say, I have begun to look at your post as a treasure box, with every word being a priceless jewel. Some days I need one jewel more than the others, and the next day my need might change again. So I have hung every one of your word jewels on a virtual chain, worn around my neck, beneath my shirt, and close to my heart.

In troubled times, I reach up and touch my cherished jewel,and whatever was wrong is no more. Instead, I am feeling fine again, with a warmth that makes the whole world glow, and even makes those around me cheerful. It's like when you toss a pebble into a quiet lake. The circles that travel outward from it, nobody knows how many they reach, but I know that they reach them with beauty and quiet joy to give.

So your treasured gift to me, my friend, was really a gift of beauty and happiness to a world in great need of it.

I thank you for giving me so much more than you know. I treasure your treasure box.

Your ever-lovin' Guru

WOW! I am touched PokerGuru by your words. They make me want to cry but not from sadness but with a soft touch of joy to my heart.

As ALW said it was very poetic and actually really touched me.

Every word was true and well deserved in my post and I wanted the world to know how I felt. I had no idea it would touch you so deeply but that makes me happy that it did.

We rarely remember to give thanks for things done for us but are quick to be critical. I try to improve on that and give praise and love when I think it should be said.

Thank YOU Guru for those beautiful words!!! I am going to save them and print them out. Then hang it on my wall. And days I feel down about myself I can read that and know I touched someone and made them feel good if only for a moment. THAT will make me feel better.

HUGGGGGS

Valeria

My dear ALW,

I shall always strive to become the man you think I already am.

If I ever make it, it will be because of you and my other magnificent members who believe in me at Poker-Crush.

With great appreciation,
Your Guru
