The best piece of mail I ever received

Posted by Kim on August 27, 2011, 8:47pm



Earlier this week, I opened my mailbox to discover a giant, handmade card. Inside was four full pages of messages and artworks from RPR members, thanking and encouraging me.

It took me many days to read it. Every time I opened it, my eyes clouded with tears so quickly I had to put it down again.
It is hands down the best piece of mail that I have ever received. I can't think of another time that I have ever been so touched.

But I will say this: Prior to receiving this letter, I had started having some health problems that were at least nominally stress-related. It even forced me into visiting the ER. The day that I opened this envelope, I started to recover. It has been a vivid illustration to me that small acts of kindness can be enormously powerful.

Thank you, all of you, whether you were part of the letter-writing scheme or not, for being so wonderful. I've never seen another place on the 'net where people were so universally kind, patient and genuinely caring. I can't take credit for that. I may have built the site, but it's you who make it great.

Over the next few days, I'm going to try and thank all the signatories of the card individually. For now, please accept the humble thanks of a very tired admin.

You're certainly very welcome, Kim. It brings a huge smile onto my face, and I'm sure the faces of the rest of RPR's community, to know that card touched and helped you so much. <3
