Writing Notes and or Letters
It seems that in this day and age the art of writing a note or letter by hand is getting lost in the shuffle of e-mails and blogging. I am as big a culprit as anyone.
My Brother-in-law Paul died on June 22, 2005.
My Pastor, SIL and Minister of Music helped out quite a bit.
My Pastor helped my sister find a crematorium even though she and Paul were not members of our church. Simply because she was my sister, he went above and beyond the call of duty and showed what a true Christian is.
My Minister of Music provided me with the copies of the songs I wanted to borrow and copy myself. She knew I was under stress for worry about my family and had it all copied and situated for me.
And Jean, she really stepped up when I didn't really think I needed anyone to lean on. I thought that it was nice of her to want to come to the memorial for me, but I thought 'I'm not the one who just lost a husband, so I don't have the right to need support'. That was before the memorial service, as soon as I saw her, I knew that I did in fact need her there and it meant a great deal to me to have her there sitting beside me.
They were all there to listen whenever I needed an ear, as were you, my blogging family.
Now I am off to write a personal "Thank You" note to each of them. And I guess that this is my official 'Thank You' to you all who listened to me all those months.
It takes so little effort, yet a written note, to those whom you appreciate, means the world to the ones who receive it.

Thanks Martha and Lillie! Martha was there at the beginning and she directed you to me, so in a sense, you were there to help. I love you both, your friendships mean very much to me.m.
