email from Elizabeth:
ReplyDeleteDearest Emily,
What a wonderful way to start my day. You are right the first thing I do is push snooze on my phone alarm and then look for the message from you. This morning you an imagine my emotion… a combination of overwhelmed with gratitude and awe of your thoughtfulness. I have treasured this message all day and the boys have seen how much a loving friendship can mean just by observing my reaction to your email and gifts. I love that they have this example. I hope someday they will find a friend like you.
I enjoyed some birthday festivities in the tea estates with a few friends today (Lee and Fai Furney and their son Titus.) It was really nice. Beautiful spot, good food and way away from the city.
We miss you so.
19 days.
Elizabeth
