I’ve always told people that I love handmade gifts more than anything. This year my Reddit Santa heard that loud and clear. This could not have been more perfect. I came home after many hours of being in the ER and CICU with my boyfriend and was completely exhausted, emotionally drained, feeling numb. I stopped to pick up the mail and saw that I had a package from a name I didn’t recognize. As I opened the gift and read the hand written note that was with it and the amazing keychain and hat and scarf that I pulled out I could feel my heart warming again. The picture on the thermometer tells you how cold it was when I got home that night. Each time over the last four days that I’ve gone back-and-forth to the ICU to be with him it has been bitterly cold, void of color and at least 17°F. To my Reddit Santa your gift is cherished and appreciated and literally could not come at a better time. Here it is Christmas eve and I am doing my best not to tear up because it will be another day spent in the hospital then coming home alone in the wee hours the morning to catch some sleep and grab a shower but as I come and go from home to the hospital I will have my lovingly knitted hat and scarf. Thank you directly from my heart.
