We learn throughout life the value of faith, the importance of hope, and how charity trumps each of these as necessary for us to find true joy. Charity or pure love cannot be expressed falsely. It is who we are and found deep within our souls. Over the past few days my understanding of this virtue has intensified significantly. I have witnessed first hand how giving of oneself lifts the soul of one in need, and all who are fortunate enough to participate. Hugh, one who is always found giving, one who continually expresses his love through assisting anyone in need is currently in need. I know Hugh well enough to believe he would never ask, and certainly not expect anyone to help, but they have done, are doing, and yet will do more. Observing this is one of my life’s greatest joys. It has solidified my belief in our fellow beings. I see family and friends engaged in forfeiting current commitments to be available to help. Hugh, who has always been self-sufficient, is currently enjoying the charity of all who know him, and even some who are just learning of this great man. There are those who have missed days of work, lost hours of sleep, driven, purchased, and aided in simple procedures. I can’t express how heart felt it is to see many willing come to Hugh’s aid; meeting his every need. Not only are his personal needs met, but his families too. No one is going without and in fact they are receiving more than needed. For all whom I have seen, and those who I haven’t who are doing things behind the scenes; thank you! It is touching to see love in action, validating what is felt about this giant of a man. I know he truly appreciates each and every one of you.
