    Default Speechless

    Since I work from home I have become sort of the "neighborhood watch" and person people turn to when they need help in our apartment building. Many of the people who live here are college students and I don't mind. But I never expected what has been happening today. Small gifts have been left at my door throughout the day. No one has knocked -- they just left their gifts with a personal note and their names. I'm not even sure who some of these kids are. I'm speechless.
