XenaW,,,,,,,,, I am in totally tears right now.. I got your package UPS today.
I honestly don' t remember the last time I had such a wonderful gift sent to me from a friend.
I feel truly blessed and God, I just want to hop on a plane and hugs you to death. And cry. Cry out of thankfulness for your kindness, your friendship and your love. You have been there for the ups and downs of my recovery here on JWD, and you know my story so well. I can't ever , forget the role you have played in making me a happier person.
I just wanted the whole room to know what a sweetheart you are. You see XenaW knows I have never celebrated Xmas, and none of the kids have either. We talked about getting a tree this year and the kids talked of all the things they want this year.
Well, in my gift that XenaW sent me, are the most adorable Christmas Ornaments. Tons of them. They are some of little teddy bears with moveable arms and legs, like the old teddy bears. There are bulb ones, snowmen, and all where packed in little keepsake boxes( which i have a fetish for boxes of all kinds).
She wrote me a card and told me this is for our first Christmas, which immediatly put a lump in my throat. How could a person I have never seen in person before care so much? I have not known this kind of caring and love before, but since leaving JW, I am seeing so much good out in the real world. The "world"that the JW's condemn are like a secret they wanted us to never find out about.
Well sorry, WT but you have forever lost me, I have found the real meaning of true brothers and sisters , friends, and I am so thankful for all of you out there.
The kids were in awe at the ornaments, and can't wait to help put them up. I will for sure once I get my tree up take pictures for all the world to see of my first Xmas tree, and the tokens of love and friendship that XenaW, shared with me.
XenaW, I cant wait for Denny to get home to see them , His heart will melt too I am sure. This gift means more than I can express in the written word. I love ya girl,,,,,,,,,,,,, thanks so much , my forever friendship,,,,,,,,, Dede and Denny
P.S. XenaW, I especially treasure the one you sent to "remember you by" ( Like I could ever forget ya) , was the Green Bay Packers globe ornament. It will have the highest place on the tree.
I think I am going to go look at them all again.....giggling like a 9 year old...
