I love you dearly but am giving the amount I would send or spend on you to St Jude's Childrens hospital. I know you support that and understand that they need our help and support much more then any of us. They always thank me and truly appreciate the help. Thank you for your understanding.

An excellent idea as Saint Jude's Children's Hospital is a very worthy charity, helping so many little ones and their families.........
However, it might "rock the boat" within an immediate family.........
But, I still remember when some young newly graduated college kids gave all of their relatives a "water buffalo" in Africa for a Christmas gift, by donating to the charity of their choice. We all could write the book, for sure.
