and thank you Spaw for sharing that with us.

Your recount of Dave Swan's incredibly thoughtful gifts to Tris and the wonderful impact such caring has upon Tris, you and your family is in itself a beautiful gift.

There has been a lot of times in the past couple of years that I have wondered why I visit The Mudcat BS section. It is so easy to get drawn into all the Ain't It Awfuls in the world and forget Ain't It Wonderful is more often the case.

Thank you for reminding me why I decided to hang around. Not all of it is BS below the line.
