Well, even if she is unable to, I know your note meant a lot to her. I know it did. She made a difference in someone's life and someone thought enough to take the time to tell her that. She will cherish it.I have hopefully I will hear something. But I know she must be up there in age and perhaps isn't able to respond. Cause she has always been a note writer herself.
Good job! My last person I heard from was Don Rickles, so need to send out some more myself. It is so fun to get something in the mailbox!Been doing alot of writing notes,I have always wanted to write but haven't. Have just a few more to get done.
I have yet gotten anything back. but with my eye sight,I have set the goal of writing people That I have always thought about writing. One of those don't want to regret not doing.Good job!

I'm quoting myself here, but I posted this right before myI need to do this to some people in my life - it keeps nagging at me to write my old bosses - 2 of them - they were partners in a firm together. They saved me from a wreck of a job. They were so kind and taught me so many things. I remember my interview with them - I had to make early in the morning so I could get to my job, at the time, on time - but that interview changed my life. My job at the time had ruined me - my hair was falling out, I was way overweight, my fashion was horrible. But those two saw beyond all that, took me on for my knowledge of the architectural industry, took a chance on me and that moment with them changed my entire life. I bet they'd like to know that. I left the job 7 years into it to stay home with a baby, and then had another. Anyhow, I should write them. I think I'd feel better if I did.
I'm quoting myself here, but I posted this right before my, and now I'm more determined than ever to write these letters. I'd be kicking myself the rest of my life if something happened to one of them before I got to say "Thank you for taking a chance on me".breakdown
Ish! One more reason I need to get this done! I will do these letters before the end of Lent. I know they will be appreciated - they were really great men to work for, and I learned so much. I couldn't do the job I have now if they hadn't taught me the things they did.A doctor I used to work for helped me out of a bad spot by getting me a job with another group of docs at a medical school. It was a great job. Anyway, I'd always meant to write him (even though this was back in 1990!), and then he died very unexpectedly. I still regret not writing that letter.
Yep - I'm doing it. This Lent I'm trying something different - clearly not giving up sweets, I just ate 10 oreos dipped in milk! I'm trying to just be better, do better, make a difference. I know there are more out there that I should write, but these two - they just believed in me when I was nearly sick of myself.Telling someone they made a difference in your life is huge. Yes, please sistah wife, try to tell them before it's too late. Like SusanNorton, I had 2 someones I really wanted to write and let them know how much they meant to me as a child, but unfortunately I found they had passed away and I didn't get to tell them. I did sign the funeral home guest book and let the family know, but I would sure have liked to have told them.
Maybe someday someone will tell me I made a difference in their life, and that, my friends, will make my day and a life well lived.
This will mean more to them than you probably will ever realize. But it is a gift you give them.Yep - I'm doing it.

I just zabasearched them and they both live where they did all those years ago. Tonight's the night, I'll write rough drafts, and then find some pretty cards tomorrow. I'm doing this!This will mean more to them than you probably will ever realize. But it is a gift you give them.
Good for you. I'm proud. Reaching out and making someone's day will bless you back!I just zabasearched them and they both live where they did all those years ago. Tonight's the night, I'll write rough drafts, and then find some pretty cards tomorrow. I'm doing this!
