Secret mission: accomplished
An email from a marine mom dated 04 July 08. Our cardmakers have been secretly showering her with cards (a card written to her son, that she can forward to him in his deployment); she knew about a different card shower, but not that she, too, would be washed over with gratitude for their family’s service to our nation:
Dear Sandy and the wonderful folks at Cards For Heroes ~
This note carries my sincere thanks and appreciation for the cards arriving here at my home.Ironically, I checked my own mail as I returned from the Post Office yesterday with all the gifts for our wounded warriors overseas. At first I was confused by all these return addresses from people I didn’t know. But curiosity got the better of me and I flipped one of them over to open it . . . and I saw your loving messages of “We honor you by honoring your son”. I was sobbing before I even opened them J And I sobbed some more as I saw your amazing art, and the ~*~ sweet ~*~ heart-felt messages of support. That you would remember my son right now means more to me that you’ll ever know. And I thank you. (please attribute any typos to tears in my eyes…OK?)
Praying for peace and the protection of those who serve,
L.P.
(And for those still working on the mission - keep the flood coming! Email sandy@cardsforheroes.org if you’d like to join in the fun!)
