Email from Mary on her Package

This is a part of the email Mary sent me after receiving her package. I am so glad she like it. Goldie
Oh my goodness, your package came today, with 3 of my 4 sons and one of my grandsons having to see and telling me how pretty, and nice it is!! I told you I would cry!!! I love it, so don't start picking it, don't even go there. I don't see anything but beauty there, with a friend/little Sis sitting there crocheting it, and the cute angel. We thought that so cute as well. I'm looking for a place to put it right close to remind me, "Goldie cares!!" I told the boys, Uncle Jim's youngest sister made that! One thought you had knitted it, but I told them differently. I don't know if the 2 older boys remember when my mother crocheted. but I never could, but I tried, and just made a mess of things. I don't remember Mama ever making an afghan, or throw. One of the boys said it goes around my shoulders to keep me warm. :-) I love it, and it's now lying across the foot of my bed, so I can see and enjoy it. Goldie, I think the maker of something is always much more critical of their own work than anyone, but you're being way too critical about this, and it brings me such joy to just look at it! :-) I'll remember this as your arms wrapped around me in a good hug, and then also, I picture you and Rich praying together. I love those thoughts!!! :-)
I love you dear Goldie, and thank both you and Rich for praying for my family and me. I loved your hard copy letter!!! :-) I too have enjoyed our family talks. I would have written you earlier today, but I just really felt lousy. That doesn't mean every day will be so bad, but at least parts of them hopefully will be more tolerable, and most likely we'll be talking as long as I'm here and able. God Bless both you, and Rich, Little Sis!!!
Again, I can't even put into words how much I treasure my gifts of love from you. :-) I'm going to leave them right out there where everyone can see and enjoy them. :-) Thank you!!!
