Hi Neighbor!
In September of 2016 I dropped off an apprehensive young girl for her freshman year of college. She relied on us for pretty much everything. I sent her care packages every six weeks or so. She loved getting the packages and I loved sending them. Fast forward to this winter, after my knee surgery, she was back at school and knew I was recovering so SHE sent ME a care package. I cried. It was the first care package I had ever received. It had all of my favorite candy, face wash, and some cute little items I would love and the most beautiful note telling me how much I mean to her and how much she appreciated me. Then a month ago I went to visit her. While we were finishing breakfast one day I asked the server for the check. She said “It’s been taken care of.” I looked at my daughter and she smiled.
Next week I’m going to pick up a young woman from her sophomore year of college who’s come into herself and has begun to look, sound and act more like an adult everyday. What a difference two years makes!
Enjoy!
Regina
