STRANGE HAPPENING - THEN IT BECAME CLEAR I received the magazine, "Shape", in November. I did not order that magazine and thought it was probably a freebie that company wanted me to buy. I received another one in December, and wondered why that happened. In January, I received that magazine again and later that month, also received the "Cosmopolitan" magazine. I did not order that, either.

Yesterday, I went to those magazines separately on line and I had an account number that was the same on both websites. Those magazines are paid for and will not expire for TWO YEARS.

JRandomFreeper, Johnny, paid for those magazines for two years. JOHNNY WILL BE AT MY HOUSE TWICE A MONTH FOR TWO YEARS. Yes, I cried when I realized he did this.

He bought the "Shape" magazine in October, two days after my birthday. He bought the "Cosmopolitan" magazine in December, for a Christmas gift.

No, he did not tell me he did this. He wanted it to be a surprise and it certainly was and I will have him in my house twice a month for two years. That is so like Johnny.

I wanted all of you to know what he did.

That’s one of the most thoughtful things I’ve heard of lately.

G-d bless him.

Johnny was a great guy. I still can't believe that he's really gone. He was so full of life, with what seemed to be an inexhaustible supply of energy and enthusiasm. This quote seems appropriate:

"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died.

Rather we should thank God that such men lived."
General George S. Patton

Thanks for sharing this, Marcella. What a neat thing for Johnny to do .... a reminder from him that he’s smiling down on you & once the magazines run out, he’ll still be smiling.

Marcella that is so nice. You are right he is smiling. Love never dies and he will be remembered by many including me for a long long time. Just this morning I took care of arranging a Mass for him in our parish. Thanks for sharing this Marcella and take care.

Awwe. So thoughtful of him to send a lasting gift. :)

Marcella :" He wanted it to be a surprise and it certainly was

Exactly true !
When he was knowingly in his own latter days on earth ,
he was still thinking of others .
"That is so like Johnny " ~ Yup !..
and I too miss him and his thoughtful comments, and continue to think of him , often , too .

He was and is a special kind of person. Thanks for sharing.

Aww, that was so sweet of Johnny!

[ApplegateRanch]

What a blessing! He was/is/will be one special guy.

LOL. The choices are so like him. Thanks for sharing this uplifting story - a good reminder of Johnny for sure.
