So Unspeakably Moved.

Yesterday evening, my husband went out and got the mail.  This is noteworthy because we really don't do it anywhere near as often as we should, in all honesty.  Our bills get paid online for the most part, so it's mostly just the actual paper bills and junk mail.  Pretty uninspiring, plus the mailbox is in a totally awkward place.

He brought the mail in, and there were two items that just touched my heart.  The first was a card from my good ("real life") friend JG - she and her husband are actually Maddie's godparents.  She sent a card to give us love for that magical day of gestation (21w3d), as she knew it would be hard.  She poured out her love for JTD, myself, baby Jota, and our little Maddie in Heaven.  I'll keep this card for forever.

JTD then brought me a box.  I hadn't ordered anything, so it surprised me.  I opened it up, and had to start crying.  I received the sweetest package from one of you, one of my online friends, who wanted to remain incognito.  It was just filled to the brim - she sent me both some Heartburn Tea (and do I need it!) and some Peaceful Mama Tea (I need that, too!) from Earth Mama, Angel Baby.  She sent me some Burt's Be.es deep hand creme, as well as an entire foot care kit (including lotion and a pumice stone - perfect timing, as mine was worn down after this winter of being inside!).  There was a huge container of gummi bears (which I LOVE - I've had a sweet tooth lately, but nothing around the house!).  And here's the last thing that was in there:

This is a horrible picture that I took with my camera phone here a few minutes ago, so it doesn't do it justice.  This is just beautiful cross-stitch, so intricate and lovely.  I think so often of Maddie as our little butterfly, so this just made me cry tears of gratitude. 

I am so blessed and rich with the people in my life.  I just pray that everyone has the same.  Hugs and love to all.
