Backstory: I recently found out that one of my fur-babies is sick, and that she won't be getting better. It's been hard to deal with, and I joined this exchange for both a distraction and a way to spread a little bit of joy.

Luckily for me, I was matched with the lovely /u/wintermute-rising, who sent me a beautifully packaged gift full of love. There was a card with rainbow birds and a lovely message, and two pennies which I googled to discover is a wedding tradition to bring luck (I just married my wife two and a half weeks ago!).

Beneath the card was a pack of Cards Against Humanity, which I love, thank you! There was also some cute stationary, chocolate, and a bunch of salt-water taffy. Strangely, my wife asked me just recently what salt-water taffy was, after hearing it mentioned in American shows and books, so now she gets to try it herself!

Most importantly, /u/wintermute-rising showered my old girl with gifts - a nice new blanket to keep her warm, a sloth toy to snuggle, and some cookies to fill her belly. She's all snuggled up on the couch under her blanky as I write this, so thank you for bringing us both that comfort. You made me tear up <3
