I have recently received gifts from my extended family in Kansas. It is something that I never expected, but am so thankful for to have received. Although these outfits have not brought us any luck on game days, it is a joy to watch a Jayhawk game with my daughter and I decked out in KU gear! The one thing these outfits have brought to our household is love. I am almost ashamed to admit that I am terrible in keeping in contact. I have met some of the most amazing people in my life. My friends are people that I hold in very high esteem, yet it has never dawned on me to make sure I say “happy birthday” or more importantly… “Congratulations” on the birth of their brand new child. Having it all now come full circle is an awakening on the importance correspondence. Opening these packages brought tears to my eyes. Not for the gifts, (even though they were very cool), the thoughtfulness and love in each gift made me realize how blessed I have been. Although they have never met Kaia, the love they had for me compelled them to send a gift for her… wow… I felt pretty darn special at that moment… and pretty dumb too…
I cant promise that I wont make this mistake again in the future, but I hope to have an opportunity to show my friends that they mean as much to me as I do to them.
