to my anonymous gifters

The Sunday following Evie's death I received an envelope on my doorstep.  It contained a gift card to a local spa and a note which read:

Day 1: Take some time to pamper yourself. 

Day 1.  This went on for over five weeks.  Every day for a little over five weeks I received anonymous gifts on my doorstep or in my mailbox.  Gift cards, beauty products, books, handmade items, baked goods, gifts for my boys, and so much more.  
Just a few of my gifts of love.

I was racking my brain trying to think of a way to find out who these anonymous gifters were.  I asked Josh how on earth I would find the identity of these people and thank them appropriately.  His matter-of-fact answer took me by surprise.

"Babe, I think these people are anonymous because they don't want a thank you.  They just want to do nice things for you for the sake of being nice."

And so I won't search you out and scour the earth for clues on your identity (although I think I have a pretty good idea of who some of you are)  I simply want to say thank you.  To know I was being thought of every day was such a blessing, truly.  And maybe one day I'll be able to repay you for your kindness.  

Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.  You are all wonderful.



  1. This is so special. Really, what a blessing :)
