Chainsaws and Lifelong Friendships

I have some truly tremendous friends, who know many of the struggles and tumult, that have been placed in the path of myself and my family, over the last few years. I have been reluctant to start this "campaign", as it causes some internal strife, and doubt. But to quote one of my very dear friends, "Jon, it's happening. So you just need to accept it, and accept that there are many who want to help". I'm still not clear as to the "what" or the "why" these fine examples of humanity are so willing to help, but myself and my family are very grateful to all involved.
