I have been tracking various packages over the last couple of weeks, a few summer clothes, a couple pairs of open toe and heel shoes (with guesstimates for sizes) and a box of little goodies for our daughters to make goodie bags for the 60 girls they are leaving behind as they wait and hope for Forever Families. I was excited today as the UPS guy drove up. I met him at the door. He had 2 boxes for me, I was expecting one. I happily exclaimed, "are these both for me?" He replied, yes mam.. "oh you have made my day! I opened the BIG unexpected box first to find 2 wrapped gifts snuggled in big bubble wrap, with 2 Christmas bags filled with candy and a note in each bag, written in Spanish, addressed to my daughters! What JOY!!!
An old friend, in fact one that I have not had much contact with over the last 10 years, thought of our daughters and acted on his thoughts and sent them (translated his Spanish note, to discover the wrapped gifts were) his favorite childhood games.
Thank you Dennis, the fact that you thought of our daughters has brought GREAT JOY in our waiting!
