I AM SO TOUCHED !!!! MY HEART IS FULL!!
I received a Heartwarming message from a NEW Facebook friend :
" I heard a lot of good things from a teacher about your work. I was hoping to ask
for a copy if you could. I was trying to find where I could get one at but its kinda hard where I am. I am in Afghanistan. I am from Mooreville, MS born and raised. I would love to read your work some time. I miss my home back in Mississippi, but know I have a duty to the country I love as well. Thank you very much.
I returned his message and told him that I would be HONORED to send him the books ! He KEPT asking about the price and wanting to pay me . I KEPT telling him that he is paying and has paid enough, already !!! All throughout the message, he KEPT calling me ma'am !

WHO DOES THIS ... in a Facebook message??!!!
A young man properly raised in MISSISSIPPI... THAT'S WHO!!!
I am SO proud of him...even though he is just a Facebook friend (for now)
With tears of pride in my eyes ...I am thinking about this young man faithfully/courageously
serving our country and my "book babies", are on their way for the
6000 plus mile trip to Afghanistan .
Thinking of the message that I heard from Maya Angelou on Saturday, I deeply
hope that through them (my books/poems) , I can be a rainbow in the midst of this
young man's clouds in a hostile war zone.
