Gifted

Sometimes the most precious gifts are totally unexpected.

Tonight a friend called and left a voicemail. This voicemail was filled with some of the most wonderful things I have ever heard. The sentiments expressed made me cry. It was so touching. The fact that a friend took the time to call just to let me know how special and appreciated I am was overwhelming.

I am so thankful.

Isn't it funny how when we need friends the most, there they are? The last week has been a rough one for me. I'm fine and I'm feeling better every day, but I sure did appreciate that shot of love and the huge self esteem boost.

I also got to talk to my husband tonight. That always makes me happy.

I have about two and a half weeks left to go in this deployment. Because Christmas is between now and then, it seems like a much longer time. Tonight's good vibes make me feel like I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
