He brings the mail in and sets it down.  It has been a good day.  A day of friends and picture taking and watching them learn and grow.
There's a manilla envelope at the bottom of the stack.  My name on it.
I start to grin, and fuss.
Nancy shouldn't have mailed these.  Look, it costs her $1.79 to mail these.  She should have just given them to me later.
All the while tearing into the envelope.  Cause isn't mail nice when it's not expected?
But then -
This is not . . .
I laugh.  Loud.  Feels so good.
Look, look what Nancy sent me.
And out I pull a little piece of sweet friendship.  She writes that she couldn't resist this little onsie for my new nephew.
What sweetness.  So thoughtful.
