How Can I Say, "Thank You"?

Yesterday Carson said to me, “Mom, we sure are spoiled”.  He said this as we brought in another gift bag that had been left at our door.  Since Al has been gone, we have randomly been left goodies at our door step.  However in the past couple of weeks it has been an almost daily occurrence. 

We usually have no idea who the gift-giver is.  The gifts just randomly appear…  some with cards (but with no signature) and many without.

My kids are really getting a kick out of it.  One morning when I reached for cereal in the pantry I found myself face to face with an envelope full of goodies!  Sometimes I receive a random, cryptic text from Shawna (who appears to be working as the middle man).  Or we see a package by our door when returning home. 

I know at least one of you reads my blog.  We received a gift of WINE and CHEESE (a long with crackers and chocolate) that seemed to mirror my previous blog post title.   I laughed out loud.

I must admit I am feeling a little guilty and very undeserving of all this attention.  Spoiled doesn’t even begin to describe the thoughtfulness and generosity of everyone.  I really am at a loss for words.   I know there are many of you at work here.   You have helped make our last few weeks in Vancouver special and that means a lot.  Carson especially is having a tough time with our move.  He has teared up just watching me fill a moving box.  So these little surprises have meant a lot.

So thank you everyone.  You should stop though.  Really.  :o)  I love you and thank you beyond words, but the guilt of receiving so much is starting to weigh on me.  I feel so blessed to have such amazing friends (and heart broken at the same time because I have to leave you all).  At the risk of sounding overly sappy I just want to thank you all again.  I am going to miss my monthly bunco games, the play dates with our kids, meeting at Starbucks for a Chai, and pretending we are 20 again and hitting the club scene in Portland.  :o).  You are a special group of ladies.
