Good Morning. I hope that you are enjoying this weekend, fully vaccinated and boosted, with family and friends.

I am not usually a superstitious person , but this, I believe with my entire chest…

Wherever you are when the sun goes down on New Year’s Eve, is where you should be when the sun rises on New Year’s Day.

Be safe, everyone.

I thought we could end the Year with a story that brought tears to my eyes. This woman is one of the good ones.

TRUE ANGEL IN BUFFALO 💯 A THREAD: A local woman received a call on Christmas Eve, “Hi, you don't know me but I have your brother.” The woman’s brother’s name is Joey. He is 64 years old and mentally disabled. pic.twitter.com/iAVQTsf2xH

Her boyfriend Trent went outside to look and found Joey and carried him out of the snow bank and into their home. Joey was so frozen they had to cut his socks off, use a hairdryer to dry his pants that were frozen to his legs, and cut the straps of a Wegmans bag from his hands. pic.twitter.com/lfzClEKQPq

This is such a heartfelt story, it's almost unbelievable. Had it not been for Sha'Kyra, Joey would have died. The frostbite on Joey’s hands looked like it was turning gangrene. Helpless, Sha'Kyra posted a plea on Facebook for emergency help. pic.twitter.com/jHLwwEDlK3

Sha'Kyra took the ride with Joey to the hospital so he would feel safe. “No one is going to hurt you honey,” she said to him as they arrived and nurses took him into their care. Joey had fourth degree frostbite. He is currently in the burn unit at ECMC. pic.twitter.com/1aO2xpCKpt

Joey’s sister says Sha'Kyra Aughtry saved her brother’s life. What she and her boyfriend did is an act of pure love. We’ve never seen a story like this before. It’s truly remarkable. God bless Sha'Kyra. @SweetBuffalo pic.twitter.com/k54ZAJC8fV
