The saddest part!
HI Chris,
I was not going to mention this to you till I read this post tonight. You assigned me someone new in August or September after I had not ever receved anything ever or heard from the previous one. I heard from thiis new one in September saying she had a gift or a box of surprises and was late getting it sent but would send it then be on time for October. In October I emailed her to say nothing received and she said something about her child being sick. She said the package was sitting there in the room with her or something like that. At first she sounded real friendly but this is wierd, just like you were saying in your post. I don't remember the email of the new one but it had Photo in it.
Anyway, I intend to keep sending to my SP as I already bought six months more of things for her. This part has been fun and Shanon and I have become friends, may even have surgery around the same date. I am not asking for a new SP, nor even for you to see what you can find out from the new one.
I do want' to say I have kept my commitment to my SP even though I have no job, no income and logisticallly should not be buying gifts, BUT I made a commitment and I don't believe in excuses.
FYI, I think people should be paired up and give to each other and that would improve the accountability perhaps.
You have worked so hard on this whole thing since you took over and I do appreicate it and completely understand your decision to hand the leadership over to someone else or just close up shop.
Thanks,

Hi Chris
I was real sad when I had to drop out of the program. You may remember my excuse...my daughter's cancer relapse, time and money. But really the saddest part was the friendship I was building. I miss my secret pal and have not bee able to stay in touch (i think it was her choice). Anyways thanks for your part in this buddy program.
