Only the gentle are ever really strong.
What an amazing gift! The more I'm on this site the more I realise how much you do for others, Matt. It's brilliant to see you that happy.
I'm Pink, Therefore I'm Spam.
I'm not surprised! I think I'd probably cry non-stop for a week.
Oh, I feel so fuzzy now! It just goes to show what a fantastic place this is. The kindness of the guys on here is utterly astounding, and I'm honoured to be a part of such a wonderful community.
You deserve this, and so much more, Matt - you truly do.
Time spent with cats is never wasted.
My happy tears are all wiped away now. Absolutely amazing and well deserved, Matt! Ditto to every beautiful thing that's been said so far in this thread (including the porch pants comments!).
One thing I've been thinking about. You realize that between the email and the wonderful personalization of your Gunslinger that SK has to have had a conversation with Marsha about you, right? That means that he knows who YOU are, Matt. I'd love to have a recording of that convo just to hear what was said . . .

I am all kinds of misty here...you are the best , a true man of honor. That is our gift.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
You deserve every cell of this priceless, wonderful book, Matt. You do.
Congratulations!
We have the best people here. Great people who are amazing friends.
Words seem so clumsy when the one meets such kindness, care and love.
*hugs Matt* I hope you can look at this book on your shelf for a hundred year or more.
Jumping Jehosephat! Congratulations, Matt! I'm very happy for you. That is truly an awesome and thoughtful gift, but it couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.
Please accept this gunslinger cake as a congratulations gift:
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

Matt, did you contact Marsha?
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
I've already responded to your post in the Corner, but seeing this thread and reading your longer opening post... well, it really makes me happy. Congratulations again, Matt.
Job well done, Jerome, Karen, Marsha and Steve!

That is a nice gift. And the cover illustration is of my favorite scene from that book!
