  If you've ever listened to my show, you would know I tend to say, "Just Damn". I usually use it when someone says something really funny or something moves me emotionally. This letter is one of the move me situations. I received this message via Facebook from a listener (friend) of mine and this comfirmed God has me on the right path with my life choices. Read below:

   

  Hey Jay...great show today...The topic was awesome. It touched me more than you know.
  
  People always ask me why I always tell them "I love ya" even if they haven't known me for a long time. I tell them I want to be that bright spot in their day. One of my faults that I have been trying to get over is holding grudges. It was inherited from my father and all of my brothers and I have this problem of holding things forever.
  
  In 2001, I had an argument with my brother, Anthony II, about something that I can't even remember but for sure it was something unimportant. We didn't talk to each other for 8 1/2 months. We would be in the same house even sitting on the same couch next to one another and would not acknowledge the other person's existence. My godmother (the one you met at the dinner), at Christmas break on 1/12/2002, locked us in a room together and told us that we would not be able to leave the house, let alone leave that room without talking to one another and resolving whatever spat we were having.
  
  We sat there for almost 10 hours and stared at one another and not one word. The only reason the silence was broken was because we both had to go to the restroom. We talked about why we were mad and neither of us could remember the origin of the fight and we apologized to one another and he told me he loved me but I did not return the reply of loving him because I really just wanted to get out of the room.
  
  My brother passed away of pneumonia on February 1, 2002 after playing the Army/Navy College football game in the rain. He had pneumonia but after the game with the low temperature and conditions, his heart enlarged and he had a heart attack. Because of that one insurmountable thing, I lost 8 month of precious time with my brother and never got a chance to tell him how much I loved him and what he meant to me.
  
  As you know I have a huge family but one thing people don't know about me is that I have been to more funerals in my life than wedding, births, graduations, and celebrations all put together, which has humbled me as a person. So now everything in my life is a celebration. People walk around upset and mad at the world over the smallest things but you never know if you will ever see that person that you are upset with again so I make sure to tell them everyday and at every moment I get, that I love them for being exactly who they are.
  
  So thank you for this topic today and being such a great person inside and out. I LOVE YA, everyday and all day, for being you!

   

  Wow!
  
  The show today was more powerful that I thought. I have received a lot of messages today and I am in awe.
  
  Thank you for sharing your story with me. This means a lot. You are a beautiful person and glad God has made us friends.
  
  You are a great person and your husband should be very happy and (GRATEFUL) to have you as a wife.
  
  Your brother from another mother,
  
  Jerris Madison :^)
