When I grow up I want to be a soldier! :-)

Well. I had a surprise letter from dear little "C" sent by Fedex for the cheapest rates (USPS charge a fortune apparently!) which was waiting for me when I arrived home this afternoon. 

"C" has been having a hard time as of lately and it was a relief to receive the letter which had a BIG smiley face and the world's THANK YOU DANIEL! x

"C" (nearly wrote his full name, for obvious child protection reasons this is not allowed!) revealed that he want's to be a soldier to help other people like I help him.

This really made my day today and almost chocked me up! The picture obviously is of a soldier as a snapshot from part of the letter he so kindly sent me and will go into the "C" box for future reference.

I will call his house later this evening when the time zones are right to speak to him and give him a BIG virtual hug.
