Dear Mom and Dad-
I am so grateful for the love and support you have shown me
over here. I realized today that you are doing for me what
I would do for my sons if they were in Peace Corps – I would be thinking of
what they need and might like and then I would spend time collecting things and
enjoying the process of caring for my grown sons again…just like when they were
young. I suppose that is what you are
doing for me!
Your package arrived today and I Love this box the most – it
was full of great items that made my eyes well up. The dinner plate hibiscus
and moon vine seeds are such a great connection to Graceland. I also love the horse-print
purse! The side pockets are the perfect size for carrying a water bottle. I
think I will share the purse design with the craft designer at Comboni
Samaritans as they had asked for new product ideas. I needed a purse mirror and
you sent one without me asking – mind readers!! Also the foods, tape and
lotions – I especially liked the aloe foot socks – I cant wait to put them on
when I get back to site.
So I want to say thanks – thanks for giving me such a happy
childhood, thanks for living through hell with me as a teenager, thanks for
giving me room to grow up and create my family, thanks for welcoming my sons
into your lives so graciously and thanks for letting me feel like your child
again as a 49 year old woman. Isn’t life
a miraculous circle!
