A Thoughtful Friend

I have known my friend Joan since early 2004. She joined a Sims 2 group that I hosted and has always been a great friend, even though we've never met in person. She told me she wanted to make Boston a pillow for his room. She took a lot of care and spent a lot of time making something very special for him. I was so touched when she told me she wanted to make this for him.

When Lady died, she made a cute little collage of Lady, another dog and her guinea pigs, all of which have passed away. Here is what she said about it:

I was in the mood to do something crafty and when I heard that Lady Bird, a dog that was close to my friend Amanda died, I got an idea. I realized that we have lost way too many pets in the last 12 months so I decided to do a tribute to them. It's that happy place that we keep in our memories. Because of that blizzard I got time to do this. So here's too those pets that we can't see any more, but will always be with us inside.



I thought that was beautiful.

Anyhow, I got the package on Wednesday. When I opened it, at first I thought it was just the pillow. About 20 minutes later I really got to looking and in the bottom of the box was that picture, framed and wrapped up. It instantly brought tears to my eyes, I was overwhelmed with happiness. What a thoughtful thing to do! I'm so glad I get to display these wonderful gifts in Boston's room and I know that as he grows up he will love them as much as I do.



Thank you so much Joan. You've been a wonderful friend for 7 years now (has it really been that long?!?! Wow!) Your gifts were much more special and personal than anything anyone could have bought in a store.
