It is a Small World

As I said in the previous post, we had a rotten year. Filled with lots of things that is just reality, but not fun reality and it just seemed never ending.

I have an online friend that I have "known" for 14 years, give or take. I said "known" as I never met her physically until 2007, as she lives around 9,000 miles away.

She collects all kinds of things and is in a lot of groups for such collections. She knows a lot of people all around the world. She is my best friend. She took the time to inform some of her online community collector group of friends how our life was going in the last several months.

Long story short, around the holidays, we received over 30 cards from folks we don't know from adam. In each card, in which some were handmade, from these people who know not who we are either, were notes/words of comfort to us. I couldn't believe it, that people you don't know can be so concerned they would take the time to not only send a card, but to actually take more time to write a note just to hopefully put a smile on our face.

We received cards/notes from Oregon, Texas, Minnesota, Illinois, Canada, Wisconsin, Washington, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana, Holland/The Netherlands to name a few.







And, with each card we got, we smiled. Thanks to all of you from the Pathtag Community. And Thanks to Gemma.
