An e-mail I could read every day...

So, we spent an evening last weekend with some friends that we really don't get to see enough...even though we only live two miles apart, our schedules don't always mesh.

Arriving at 3pm (not leaving until after 9pm!) a week ago Sunday, we got to spend some quality time together. The two girls (both under 5 years old) were a joy to be around. After I sent a thank you note to them for our evening together, this was the note I received... an e-mail I'll save for a long, long time...

We so enjoyed our time with you and Jodi.  You are such special people.  There are not many people in this world who are so appreciative and connected to the moment they are in, but you and Jodi are.  I marveled at how genuinely you relished attention on the girls...

At about 8pm or so, I offered to read a book before bedtime. Well, over an hour (and 8 books) later, we finally bid our adieu...it was wonderful!
