I was beyond surprised yesterday to walk to my mailbox and receive a random package.
The package was from a beautiful friend of mine in Canada. I don't think she'll ever understand how much faith she restored in my heart with that package she sent me.
Never has someone done something for me so thoughtful, so caring, so from the heart. I am beyond touched that she would take the time to do that, for me.
She had made me a CD of songs to inspire and soothe me. To let me know she was thinking of me and supporting me from so far away. Hand picked songs I could draw strength and courage from. Not to mention the incredible embroided gifts for my children. To think she sat down and took the time to make them astounds and humbles me.
Thankyou, Susan for being such an amazing person. For being the type of person to reach out to others when I know you have your own pain to deal with. Yet you reach beyond yourself to offer others support and love. You are an inspiration.
I have to admit, I lay in bed last night thinking of what she had done for me and searching my memory banks for an occassion that someone in my life had reached out to me in such a way or taken the time to make something for me. I came up with nothing close.
I know I inspired C in her work as a fashion designer, I've seen the T shirts with my face on them, but she never gave me any artwork in the entire time we were together. And she's an artist - I feel a little short changed. I made her many a mix tape and CD yet I never received one in return. I never realised how nice it was to receive something like that.
This gift has opened up my eyes in more ways than one. I am grateful.

And that post touched me more than anything has in a long time. I didn't even feel anything when Jessy sent me lilies all the way from Germany. But your kind words reached my numb heart and made me cry. I can't believe that my little gift meant so much to you. Please know I'm thinking of you very often and missing you always.
