It as been a rough 16 months in my life...I have lost my grandmother, an uncle and my father...so when another uncle passed away last week, I have to be honest...Redditgifts was not on my mind. I went out of town this past weekend to attend the funeral, and when I was away, I checked my e-mails...there was one from my gifter asking me if I liked her gift! Well, I was not home yet, but in a time when I could use a little pick up, that e-mail made me smile.

During the 4 hour road trip home, I would think about what awaited me when I got there...we had exchanged e-mails a few times and she had told me she liked "stocking" the people she received from Reddit...just like I do...she also said she had spent a little more then recommended...so who wouldn't get excited about this!

By the time I arrived home, I was so tired, I had forgotten about the gift waiting for me...until I walked through the door and found a brightly wrapped parcel on the table...roses on the paper...so pretty!

Even before I unpacked, I had to open the parcel. Inside was a treasure trove of wrapped items!

First I saw a wonderful card that was so nicely written, and full of compliments! Even a gift receipt from one of the items in case I didn't like it! My gifter is so kind and sweet!

I saw a wonderfully bright little purse waiting for me to fill it up...but no...it was full already...inside the purse was a mini- make up kit, and perfume sample!

I saw a little note on a laser pointer, that said " for your furry babies", so she knew about my cats! There was a pen, but not just a regular pen...this is a 7 year pen with ink that will last forever! I also unwrapped a wonderfully bright an cheerful manicure set in a hard case...then there was the cute retro wallet! I haven't been that spoiled in ages!

I was so overwhelmed that I soon broke down and had a little cry. In this world with news everyday about bad things and feeling the pain of loosing someone special, I was treated the reality that people care and that life has to go on. It is a tough lesson to learn. In life, if you are able to make a little difference by sending someone you don't know something so exceptionally great, you will bring a smile to them when they really need it.... I am grateful and happy for user "alwonder" for the exceptional care she gave me...and for Redditgifts for giving me the opportunity to do the same for someone else...
