I got a box in the mail today from my mom's old neighbor Linda. I wasn't expecting anything from her so imagine my surprise when I opened it and found this pink ribbon cookie cutter and card from her. It's funny cause I had just been telling my neighbors about the carrot cake she used to make for my birthday.

I needed this gift from her more than you could imagine - since I have been feeling depressed & lonely lately. Linda is kinda like my other mother since my mother passed away 2+ years ago.
Not only was this gift a great pick me up, and an awesome way to celebrate breast cancer awareness month - but the timing was perfect cause every October when my parents anniversary comes around I tend to feel like an orphan (since after my mother passed away my step father left for Mexico shortly after and totally disappeared from our lives right after) so it's a nice reminder that I am loved.
