My final edit

December 22, 2016. I have received breathtaking gifts from my Santa. It may not seem like much to some, but, for me it is everything. I have had a pretty shitty time over the last eight years (possibly longer) due to a pretty severe case of Crohn's disease that has destroyed my body and has left me disabled. I have unfortunately spent most of these past years trapped in my house because my body decided to hate itself. But this is life and I have kept fighting and will continue to do so!

This upcoming February marks two years since I had a total proctocolectomy that saved my life. My body has given me complications since then that have made life a bit more difficult than what it had been before, including unfortunate, but life-saving medical debt. Having to rely on SSDI at a young age is tough. I do what I can to make some extra cash to help supplement the $393 I receive from my SSDI deposit monthly. I only survive because of my wonderful family, but most importantly, my amazing wife. She works her ass off for my health and I am forever indebted to her. She is my guardian angel.

I am so sorry for going off track (ADHD-PI), but, I was wanting to express to my Santa that their generosity meant more than maybe had been intended and for that, I am eternally grateful for your kindness in an unkind time. You have our thanks and our love. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and everyone who took the time to read this.

I have received my gift today from my amazing Secret Santa! It came via USPS and was in a bubble envelope. After opening the gift, my heart started racing. Inside was a $50 gift card and an extremely kind note from my Secret Santa!

Updates I have received my second gift! A hardcover book by Josh Kushins with the artwork from Rogue One!! Secret Santa, thank you so very much! The missus and I went and basked in Rogue One's glory Friday morning!

My wife and I are so very thankful for your kindness and generosity kind stranger! We are thankful you deemed us worthy of multiple gifts. I will update this post as I receive the next one! I also promise to forward your kindness onto others.

Forever grateful, Aarutican
