How do I even BEGIN to write a proper thank you note to each of you who so generously tucked in a personal gift for me along with your Hearts For Jack?
It is just that the sentiment "Thank You" seems so - oh, I don't know - small. Yes, that's it. These two words somehow do not even BEGIN to convey what I am feeling in my heart in response to this ...
But I DO thank you.
I thank you for every note, card, and letter. I thank you for every heart, ribbon and bow. I thank you for every delightful dollhouse trinket and for every adorable Daisy Cottage treasure. I thank you for the coffee and candy treats and for every single flower. I thank you for the hankies and your hand-painted creations. I thank you for your sweet sweet written words that I will keep with me in my heart forever.
Your gifts will be with me always. YOU will be with me always. I love my gifts and I love you.
So with a grateful heart that is overflowing with emotion, I thank you.
And I am wrong - because these two words are NOT SMALL as I express them to you from the very deepest part of my soul ...
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
Love always,
Kim

I just got to thinking--what does your mailman think with all the packages that have arrived at your house recently? He or she must need an extra truck just for you!

It's the circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle of life.
I thought of these lyrics as I read the comments today.
Thank you Kim. You are a good teacher!

Dear Kim, I am so sorry I missed the hearts for Jack, but it made my heart sing to see the response. You are a very thoughtful person and even though I don't visit as often as I would like, you make me smile and have a warm feeling when I do get to come.
Thank You for being you.
