I sent a care package to our daughter in Korea today. I hope she gets it before Christmas!

Sent from my stoopid iPhone

I haven't even opened it yet. Is there anything better than a care package from a childhood friend when it feels like you're worlds away from "the village" that raised you? I smile.

My friend Tim is a 1LT in the U.S. Army, currently stationed in Afghanistan. I told him I'd send him a care package and he requested that I send Propel water bottle packets. I also sent along a fresh tooth brush, deodorant, candy, baby wipes, tissues, and a few snacks. I'm very proud of him and can't wait for him to come home.

My dear, dear aunt, to whom I was extremely close, died today after a years-long battle with Inclusion Body Myositis.

Every single winter for the past twenty years or so, she would send me an Amaryllis to brighten the darker months.

She was one of the most thoughtful people I have ever known.
