I only stated that no matter where you are, your future accomplishments might have saved my life, in my old age.
Or, you might be the one inspired in some moment to invent a medical device, write a book, create an great invention.
Whatever it could be, you make ripples in my pond, and, though i do not know you at all, you affect me!
I will be selfish here, and demand that you fight, struggle, survive, so that i may live more peacefully.
Yes, i guarantee that you are important to persons unknown.
When we go to sleep, there are people we don't know, who admire us. One loves us.
Then, because of some vagary in yahoo machine, i was deleted, all my mail and answers, deleted.
I hope i made a difference. I can only save one starfish at a time.
I give away computer systems, found curbside, with linux mint installed, to children, schools, ministries.
Make a difference. Because you care.

There was a small boy in the hospital that was scared and upset because his mother wasn't availible to tuck him in. I managed to comfort him until he got a small plush bear. I felt really good about myself, and he made me two paper frogs in return. That was february, and i still have the frogs.

We all contribute to the light on this planet, and there is nothing more important than remembering the humanity of those around us. Love, ellie
