LJ love in the mail!
I received a surprise package in the mail from my friend ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cleddy today! She mailed me a package in December, while we were on vacation, but by the time we received it, the contents had been ripped open and were missing. I was so surprised to receive a second package today, along with a note: "I hope this makes it to you safely this time!"
She'd written on the other package that she'd seen this keychain, and it had immediately made her think of me. I couldn't figure out what it could be, but as soon as I opened today's package, I knew what she meant. I was grinning from ear-to-ear for the next ten minutes, I'm sure.
Thank you so much, sweetie! I love them both!
Harry Potter keychains! Hermione and Harry in tiny LEGO™ form as keychains! So cute!
The best part about getting surprises in the mail, whether it's a package, card, letter - anything, really - is that it means you are not alone. Someone was thinking of you at a special point in time, and that just makes the world feel a little bit cozier. :-)

How we got here...
In 2003 I was living in Portland, Oregon (my home town), and planning a move to Beijing, China. (There is a LOT more to that part of the story, but I'm cutting it out so this remains relatively short.)
I met
...which brings me to why I chose this post to comment on. You mentioned that getting mail, letters, packages, cards, whatever makes you feel that you're not alone, and as an only child of a close-knit family living 9,000-some-odd miles from home, I know how exhilarating that feeling can be, and I like giving it to others, too. So, if you ever want to exchange addresses via private email (mine's an FPO, AP address since we have Hong Kong FPO privileges for the Embassy in Beijing), maybe I can send you and your boys some fun toys and goodies from China, because I love having an excuse to shop for someone besides myself, and maybe we can exchange actual snail mail letters, which I enjoy writing! :)
