In China, it is custom to wait until the gift-giver leaves before opening the gift -- then there's no put-on about how much you love it etc.

Thanks for your support and for helping those who may be struggling this time of year.
I received the following message from Reese Butler, Founder of HopeLine, this morning. . .
Frank -
This was unbelievable. What a great effort and response. The comments are so profound and caring. Some made the donation and asked that the book be sent directly to someone else as a gift. Some who lost loved ones to suicide and thought this would be a healing gesture. It is truly heart warming and amazing to read each one.

Thank you for the good work you continue to perform. You have
helped me personally and I am honored to give back.

I am an avid postsecret fan - checking every Sunday with my fiance, even attended a live show in Peoria - and recently saw your response to a woman's message about her feelings of sadness and helplessness. I think your hopeline is such a great thing. I am happy that both you and Frank Warren have found your calling - happy for you, but mostly happy for those lives you impact, and, ultimately save.

I just saw your message on PostSecret about responding to non crises. Is there any way that I could help with this by volunteering and taking calls? I'd absolutely love to help out! Thank you!

Hopeline is one of the miracles out there.
This week, you can receive one of the actual 6-foot by 4-foot billboards used in the making of the most popular All-American Rejects music video by your $2,000 donation to the Kristin Brooks Hope Center. 1(800)SUICIDE

She was pretty, she used to climb trees. She made jewelry for her family for Christmas. She was the single mother of a son she loved. She tried her hardest, but just like the rest of us, she made mistakes. And we forgave her for them, just like we forgive you.

I'm a Firefighter/First Responder, and I google their names because I couldn't save them.

I work in the ICU and Google almost all of my patients. I found out one patient adored her granddaughters more than anything, so I made sure that her granddaughters were allowed in before anyone else.

I baked Christmas cookies with my friend the other day and I'm really scared he's going to think that I sent this in.

I stood right where this picture was taken on the only hill in Paris this weekend and that's when I decided that I wasn't going to just accept who I've become, but instead work to make myself a better person--the one I always wanted to be, but never quite had the courage to achieve.

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart has been the destination for my future
pilgrimage ever since my dad played the John Denver song "A Country Girl
in Paris". I know for certain that something amazing is waiting for me up
upon Montmartre, and I hope - more than anything - that what I find there
is self-acceptance. "For even in her sorrow, there's something in her
eyes.."

I use my wheelchair in my dreams. It took a long time. I think it means I have finally fully accepted myself.. And I am happy.
-----Email Message-----
My boyfriend makes me use a wheelchair. He says it's the only way he's attracted to me. I wish I could fly away.
