Acts of Kindness...

Today the UPS man delivered a big box from "The MacCarthy family."  I had absolutely no idea who that was.  The MacCarthy Family?  I couldn't place them and thought it must have been a mistake although the label clearly said "To the Midberrys!"  Henry helped open the box and inside we found a bunch of fun boy toys (parachute men, airplanes, puppets) and a fun bag of "girl" things for me (Essie nail polish, foot scrubs, etc) and this note:

Dear Beth, James, Henry and Pete, 

Greetings from the MacCarthy family!  Just a small token of our gratitude for your sacrifice for all of our well being, safety, and freedom.  Hope these little treats make your March happy and bright!  

Much love, Laura, Brendan, Juliana, and Samantha

Thankfully there was a small picture on the top of the card so I recognized the sender... an old friend from college that I haven't seen or spoken to in over ten years!  Can you believe the kindness?  It's simply amazing... and a wonderful reminder of how special friendships are in life.
