Dear Stacey,
I wanted to tell you that you made my day. I was feeling really down in the dumps when I walked out to the mailbox and was surprised to see something for me! I opened the package and Oh My God! You gave memories back to me that I had forgotten. You know every Christmas I have thought about this music. First thing I did was put it in the CD player and cried (the good kind). But as the CD played I also cried because that which has brought us this music was my mom and your grandmother. I want to thank-you very much!! Stacey you have made my Christmas extra special this year, even when I was feeling ba-hum-bug. But I’m not anymore. Say hi to your brother if you see him. I love you both and have a very Merry Christmas and most of all a Happy New Year!!
Love you,
Aunt Nancy
This letter is the best gift I’ve ever received.
I had heard from my other Aunt through email like the day after I sent out the cd’s so I was getting worried that maybe I had the wrong address for this Aunt. I didn’t care if she thanked me or not but after hearing stories about how much she specifically loved the record, I really hoped I didn’t have the wrong address. She moves a lot and is sometimes hard to get in touch with. But then yesterday when I got home there was this letter on the counter. Enclosed with the letter was a ton of old pictures of our families together when we were younger. Our computer at home just took a dive so I can’t scan them but as soon as we fix it I’ll scan them up.
I’m so happy I made her so happy.

How sweet! So glad you were able to do that and that it meant so much to the people you sent it to.
