Dear Mom........... thank you card

Dear Mom...... 
  Last Friday I was miserable. It was the 5th anniversary of Donna's death. Not only was I sad about that, but of course it also brought forward your recent death too.  Then mid afternoon Mike, my office staff that day, called me and told me there was a card in my office for me! I wasn't sure what the hell he was talking about and didn't feeling like leaving the house but I did. I went to my office and there it was. A card! I opened it, shitty mood and all, and there inside the envelope was this lovely violet card with flowers on it. And inside was a note, a wonderful note saying thank you from one of my senior lady's and her husband. It was a thank you for taking them to the Ripley's Aquarium on a group trip. I held that card to my chest and fought back the tears. It seriously made my day. When I saw her a few days later at one of our meals I made sure I gave her a hug and thanked her for pulling me out of a terrible mood and day and for saying thanks.  Few do.  When I got home I took that card and I put it on the bulletin board in your room.
