Dear Someone: PART 2

-->

I am going to describe to you the most exciting moment of my week this week.

I should preface this by saying that it was not necessarily the most ENJOYABLE moment, although it was quite enjoyable, but I had quite a few lovely and enjoyable moments with friends and family over the holiday, so there is no way to choose the MOST enjoyable.

Anyway, the most EXCITING moment of my week was when I stopped back home and found a strange package in the mail.  It said “Molly’s Meats" as the return addy on the package, and it came from Glasgow.

I eagerly opened it up to find a book inside. A Children’s book. I didn’t look very much at the cover, but instead moved on to opening it and looking for a letter or evidence for who it could possibly be from. On the front page someone had written something At first glance I couldn’t figure out what it said, I saw it was addressed to me, and that at the bottom it said “What a Gorgeous letter” with the word gorgeous underlined. I was really confused.

I picked up the envelope again and scanned it. Glasgow. Then I looked at the cover of the book and realized that it was a book by Emma Thompson, it was her latest Nanny Mcfee book. Holy shit. It was from Emma Thompson.

I stood up and started to pace a little bit while I slowly FREAKED OUT. Then I sat back down to look at the book.

I opened the front cover again and deciphered what HER HANDWRITING had said:

"For (life adventurer) with loving and grateful thanks from your faithful
servant, Emma Thompson.
PS what a GORGEOUS letter"

As some of you may recall, I wrote my first fan letter ever to Emma Thompson back in November even though I didn’t really expect her to read it. I thought it would be worth it just to send out the positive energy of how much she means to me as a person and an artist.

It’s amazing to me that no matter how many famous people I meet, I will always feel like celebrities (especially really talented ones) are not real people. They are like fantastical fairy creatures that live in a far away land and do not come into contact with humans. Well folks, I have crossed the human/ fairy barrier and made contact!!!

I am so touched by the gesture. I am so happy she has read my words. It means so much to think that somehow I might have made her day just as she has made mine so many times.

I wanna write a whole bunch of letters now….

Love and Kindness all.
