Special Surprise

[satinwhispers]

The post man made a simple note on piece of my mail the other day....stating.... package at office. I wasn't even sure it was for real but I called and asked the next day and they said yes. I asked Mone to go to the office to get it if she wasn't too scared since it was Mid-day and she was still home sick. She went to the office and called me and said it was a package from NY and read the address it didn't sound familiar but she was excited because it had her name on it too. I was a little confused and I asked for her to please not open it until I got home. She kept her word for a change and I am so glad because when I got home I freaked out!  My wonderful friend Russ had sent me a package for my birthday. I know many people get many packages from many people for birthdays, holidays, etc but not me. The only mail I ever get is bills and junk mail.... and for Mone to be included after the week she had with the flu and our apartment being broken into while she was home alone made her feel special as well because she doesn't get mail either except for sometimes I will write her a short letter and mail it off just to surprise her. BUT this was not the same..... someone outside of our family took time to think about us. This day that is really rare for anyone especially us.  I have to say Mr. Russ that came at the perfect time and it was the perfect gift for me. When I first got the package I was so happy I couldn't even open it then I was extra careful to make sure I didn't rip the wrapping (although that was practically impossible since it was wrapped so perfectly and taped so much to secure the wrapping. I opened the package and read the handmade card. This was a wonderful gift and I am so beyond grateful I think that was the first time I smiled all week.  I guess what I am trying to say in my very awkward and weird way is thank you so much just for taking time out of the busiest part of your year to think about us. To me that is the true meaning of friendship. I feel very privileged to know you & I know I have said it before but honestly I don't feel I can say it enough.

you rock it!

much love
