A Quick, "You're Welcome" to Michelle and Craig

Michelle.....both Gareth and I saw the thread on VJ and we just want to say, "You're Welcome"....we both know the PM box is full and just can't be bothered to empty them - can't be bothered to actually head out there because of the past nastiness. People out there can be so small-minded, petty and immature and Gareth and I would rather surround ourselves with things of a positive nature and rather have exchanges with mature, independent-thinking adults who know the art of intelligent debate without tossing rude insults about like they were pennies in a wishing well. We do know that not ALL folks out there are like that, but the majority are of a certain mind and if you are not of a like mind there is no room for you out there. And as we don't really contribute in any of the other immigration-related areas of the forum, neither of us see the point in contributing at all.

But I wanted you know that reading that thread you posted made our day. We'd just gotten back from being out of town and are so very happy that those few things we sent seemed to brighten your day and put a smile on your face. Personally, I know what it's like to be the one to adjust to another country and I can remember getting care packages from friends back in the states and it was like Christmas, my birthday and everything nice, all rolled into one! And having Gareth go out of his way to find little touches of American-familiarity for me, meant the world as well, and I know the same can be said of your support for Craig. I know it's not easy on either of you sometimes. But I've got a good feeling that things are looking up for you both!

And I do hope you enjoy the books. I think that Nora Roberts trilogy is one of my favourites. And I know the books went to a good home!

I think Sandra may have given you my email address, so feel free to use it liberally to keep in touch with us!

Gareth joins me in wishing you nothing but the best in your new endeavors in school and for Craigs continued easing into life here in the states.

*hugs*

Hey Auds,
Nope...didn't give anyone your email addy or your blog addy as per your request. Would you like me to pass along that info to Michelle?

Auds,
When I read Michelle's post about getting that package, you and Gareth immediately came into my thoughts. I was wondering if it was you who sent it, but decided not to ask. I knew it!! Very nice of you!

Hi 'Stina!

Yeah it was us. Just thought it might put a smile on Craig's face. Didn't expect her to post about it, especially knowing my sentiments about VJ. But it was nice to be thanked that way.

Glad to see you out here reading. Sometimes I think maybe only one or two people aside from Gareth read this. *lol*

Stay in touch!

*hugs*
