Yesterday I went to check my mail, mostly bills and bits and pieces, and amongst all those bills was a blue slip.
 
YOU HAVE MAIL! WHOO HOOOOO
 
So I go to the window and the package is handed over, I instantly KNEW what it was and from whom.
 
Woman thank you thank you thank you its so amazing!
 
I feel very privellaged to have received yoru book, and I must say whilst sitting inmy car before work (I was late because of this) I looked at the book, I opened the inside and out popped two beautiful dried leaves - what kind of tree are they from? and then inside the envelope was a nut, it was so heart warming.
 
Then I read the first few pages, then realised I was late for work and snuck in a look at some pictures, then turned to the back cover and saw my twinkly eyed friend, your dad!
 
I can't wait to start reading it, it has made me realise the value of our own stories, of our own lives.
 
That I can and I will finish mine. ♥ and kisses and hugs for the wonderful surprise Woman.
 
I am blessed by your friendship.

    MeMy ~ Ohh it was, the endeavour to write a story of a family member or even of yourself is a hard thing to do, but to give it freely away as a gift... I cherrish it as an act and as encouragement.

    Smiling at the connections that go on here, whatever the book was about.  And a chance to say I'm thinking of you.

    Wombie ~ :-} The connections and friendships made here are astounding to say the least.

    Woman is like my mother, I love her spirit and support, this gift is very thoughtful in a way she knows will affect me.

    Lucy~Finally!!! I am so happy that you received the book. It took forever and forever to reach you. The leaves are from my maple tree that is showing it's lovely autumn colors. I wanted to send you lots of acorns from my oak tree but I was afraid the post office wouldn't allow it so I sneaked just one in. Yes, this is my book about my father's life. Let me know how you like it. And then... It's your turn. I'll be waiting. Big hugs, woman

    I have no idea why but this wonderful post just brought tears to my eyes.  There is nothing more beautiful than a gift that is so personal and has so much meaning to us.  Woman shared this with another beautiful soul, you Lucy.  What a fantastic surprise to receive.  I can picture you sitting in bed with the bedside lamp on not being able to put it down :-)
