Thank You Terrie....

I went over to my mom's house today to find that she had recieved a package from Terrie. Who as you know has been in Hawaii for a month. ~lucky duck~ Inside a large envelope were 3 individually wrapped black boxes with cards addressed to my mom, steve and myself. Inside my my box was a beautiful suncatcher made from hand blown glass called "Hawaiian Raindrops", it has a care that says "In the circle of life it takes both rain and sunshine to make rainbows".....beautiful. This touched me deeply because in my card it said that when she saw these she immediately thought of my dad and how when you can hang these in the sunlight and see rainbows reflect off of it and that got me thinking that even though we are having the raindrops now, eventually we will see the rainbows and the good times when we look at it and think of him. Pretty deep for a suncatcher huh. ;-) I'm not sure if she reads this blog but if she does, thank you so much Terrie. You have no idea how much I appreciated it. Here are a few pictures of mine. Again, please forgive my awful photography, apparently Jeremiah hasn't rubbed off on me at all. ;-)

Melissa, I tried to add a comment the other day but during the process of setting up a password lost it ... so I sent an email to your Mom instead.

I'm glad the suncatchers arrived intact and truly do hope that each time you look at it you have a pleasant memory of your Dad.

I love your blog and will do my best to check it out on a regular basis. Tell Kara congratulations on her first band concert & give the kids a big hug from us.

Love,
Terrie

Hi Terrie,

Thanks for checking out the blog! I was hoping someone would send you the link. Sorry it took me so long to repond, we took the kids out yesterday and this is the first chance I have been able to get to the computer. Again, thanks so much for the suncatcher and the card. They were reallt beautiful and appreciated. ;-)

Love,
Melissa
