And you know we all love everything you write and share with us on the site!!! And we do understand how busy your life is - it is very very very generous of you to share so much of your time with us!!!!!!!!

Wish I could do it more often, but give it my best shot. I know you and others appreciate these. It lifts the spirits. I think it's important to share these kind of stories. 
Awesome story! Thanks for posting. Makes you wonder about all of the secret treasures that are out there. Made me think of the Rescued film project: www.rescuedfilm.com
Yes, I too wonder about the attic treasures that haven't even been discovered. And then I think about all the stuff that has been intentionally and accidentally tossed...
