To whatever kind stranger donated in my name...
To whoever donated in my name for the DU drive, all I can say is...well...I really cannot say anything. I am truly at a loss for words. I'll try and muster whatever words I can in the hopes of expressing, with the utmost sincerity, about how I feel. I think the best way I can do that is with these two quotes. Here is the first, a quote from American author and publisher William Feather:
"Something that has always puzzled me all my life is why, when I am in special need of help, the good deed is usually done by somebody on whom I have no claim."
&
Secondly, this Malayan proverb:
"One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind."


Before I get all vaclempt, let me just close and say to whoever you are, where ever you are, I hope you see this...
Thank You, ¡Gracias!, Obrigado!, Merci!, شكرا لك, 谢谢!, דאַנקען איר and Dankon!:pals:

1. Anonymous Star Donations are Extraordinary, I love our membership.
Someone bought me a star sometime during this past year and it was just the nicest thing.

I'm so glad when people give them, and when the recipients write a post like this to thank them.

DU and DUers are Awesome!

3. I was the recipient of a DUer's kindness a while back
I'll probably never know who-that's how it should be.

I love your quotes:

"Something that has always puzzled me all my life is why, when I am in special need of help, the good deed is usually done by somebody on whom I have no claim."

"One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind."

Words to live by.
