I sent my soldier his first letter and care package today. Nothing too special, some coffee, chocolates, a sewing kit and a teddy bear that Raven thought would help ward away bad dreams. There were other things included in the list, but I didn't feel the need to give the whole list. Not sure if he'll like everything or not, but I got some great new ideas for next care package. I think I'll include a calling card among other things. I had no idea what to write about so I just told him a little bit about myself. What do guys overseas really want to hear about anyway. I have no clue, but I'm sure I'll get some great ideas from the Angels forums.
Until next time...
Stay strong
Stay brave
Stay free...
That's great. I'm sure he'll appreciate whatever you send. I was thinking the same thing about the letters, I was feeling like I didn't want to ramble too much about myself, but there's not much else I could think of to talk about, lol. Maybe we'll get really lucky and hear back from them so we can have something to write to them about. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you've been there yet but the approved angels forums has some great ideas on things to send that aren't on the other lists and such. I'm also thinking of joining one of the other teams, perhaps the Letter Writing Team. Not sure yet. I mean if I can't write one letter, how am I going to write a ton of letters.. lol...
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are doing this. I feel not quite so alone. (Yeah, I know I'm not, but there are times.... )
