For Miss Ash and Courtney

In the weeks leading up to Christmas I mailed out approximately 300 holiday cards to soldiers overseas. I did so without hope or agenda.

I only wished to bring a little bit of home to the brave souls that were so very far away from it and while I never expected to receive anything in return...I wound getting the very best gift of all.

Unbeknownst to me, one of my cards had fallen into the hands of Eric and by a simple twist of fate...after reading my silly card with it's smudged, crooked writing...he decided to write me a thank you email. What followed was a flurry of emails, IM's and phone calls...all through which we have forged a relationship that we joke, can only be described as something from a movie.

I am a firm believer in fate and everything happening for a reason. And I believe that someone finally got tired of my bellyaching and sent me a man to shut me up. LOL.

I don't know what is was that compelled him to pick up my card that day...but whatever it was, I'm grateful.

There Courtney and Miss Ash...is that spoken plainly enough for you? :0) By they way, Eric does actually read my blog...lord help me. If I'd known I was going to have the hots for him, I would never have given him the address...otherwise I could write all the juicy stuff in here. :o) Oh well...we'll just have to come up with code words. :o)
