My SS really hit the spot with this gift. I love Edgar Rice Burroughs and will treat this book with the TLC it deserves. Thankfully I will soon be prepared for the pending doom that is Sharknado. Thankfully I will be able to relax during this event with a wonderfully scented “Old Books” candle. If I can ration it correctly. I mentioned I will be proposing to my girlfriend this Christmas as well. It was wonderful to see that I will share that in common with my SS having never met her. This exchange and gift could not have come at a better time. The holidays will come with mixed emotions. On the bright side I will be getting engaged. However the doctors gave my father to Christmas to live. Very confusing times wondering who I am and what I will do going forward. But this exchange has proved one thing that I shall remember for years to come. Giving is better than receiving and the world isn't as cruel as we make it out to be. Kindness finds kindness. Today started out with the conversation with my dad about ending his cancer treatment, and starting in-home hospice. I didn't think today would be a day I did anything other lay in my bed. But I just received this wonderfully thoughtful gift from a complete stranger. I may be sad, but I am up, with a smile at that. To my SS and to all others, Happy Holidays! I hope you find cheer no matter how dark it may be!
