Dear SS,

The first kind thing you did was send a note expressing curiosity about me. Were you trying to heighten my anticipation? If so, you were successful. It made this whole experience start to seem real.

While I was waiting and wondering about you, you were busy selecting gifts based on what I told you about myself. You made a gift from a stranger sweetly personal. Thank goodness you thought to mail your gift so quickly! You didn't put me through weeks of waiting and wondering.

From the time I saw the Amazon box sitting on my front porch until it was finally open, my heart was racing. I've never received wrapped gifts through the mail before, and inside the Amazon box were TWO pretty blue boxes. TWO!!! Thank you for adding that special touch! I cannot say that those poor boxes are in such great shape now because, truth be told, I was a little over zealous. When I couldn't figure out how to remove the ribbons gently, I gave in to the thrill and ripped them to pieces.

Box number 1: A Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver cleverly disguised as a keychain. Perfect! I am in driver's ed, and hope that some day soon this will be especially handy. :) For now, it is sporting my housekey.

Box number 2: A Doctor Who ice cube tray/chocolate mold. I didn't even know such a marvelous thing existed! Yay - And - Yum!

I wish I knew who you are so that I could thank you properly! Please know that your kindness is much appreciated!

Thank you, SS!
