Okay, so, you have all these amazing greeting cards.
He does it for two and a half years.
Did you ever feel like, "Should we be doing something?"
I mean, did you almost feel like, it's gotta be kind of
awkward to have this kindness just pour in
and you don't know, did you not know what to do, or?
- Well a couple answers to that.
It was awkward at first, but then he became
part of our family.
I can't even imagine that he wouldn't be there
for birthdays, and he was there at Christmas
and her wedding.
He just became a part of it.
What was, I'm sorry.
That was definitely an important part: that he was there.
And two and a half years isn't all he did,
that was the constant days, but he kept writing
until she was an adult.
I mean, off and on, special occasions, things like that.
- I would imagine you don't just quit cold turkey.
Say, "Sorry kid, I'm done." [chuckles]
- He never stopped, it was wonderful.
- So how often was he actually physically in your lives?
When you say he was there for birthday and weddings,
he was physically there, like Bob went to the wedding?
- Oh yeah, yeah, and he wasn't just at Joni's
birthday parties, he would show up at Steve and Angie's too,
and he would bear gifts.
I mean, he really became an important member of our family.
