As Nipun recently said in an email, most CF people love to give gifts :)  And, we especially love to tag people anonymously!  Wouldn't it be neat if we had a little way to offer the recipient of the gift the opportunity to share their reactions, thoughts, gratitude?  I think it would be lovely, as I know how much I'd love to share my own gratitude when I've been tagged anonymously.

Well, that's just what happened to us in London recently - totally organically, without any form or mechanism in place :)  You might recall a month back I had shared a story about how a few of us tagged a fellow Smile Card shipper in the UK, who is going through a particularly tough time.  We put together a care package filled with lots and lots of love and good wishes and sent it off, expecting absolutely nothing in return, shipping out some kindness just to make someone's day a little brighter.  Whilst many stories end there, some come full circle...

Recently, Deep brought up the mail from the lobby and handed me an envelope addressed to "Friends at Help Others."  Hmmm.... what could this be?  I opened the envelope and much to my surprise I found a "Thank You" card from our fellow Smile Card shipper!  Here's what it said...

I was nearly moved to tears myself as I read her note.  Thank you to the London crew for all your heartfelt wishes that you wrote to our dear friend.  It's so lovely to see how the smallest act of kindness can brighten someone's day and we hope her days ahead continue to get brighter.
