Count us among the late - my DD lovingly made her card, and I haven't been able to get the crew of us out to the post office - only have 2 at home tomorrow morning (Thank GOD they are back at school), so will get it out then (sorry!). My kids want to come meet Tanner and play with him - it is hard to explain to 7, 5, and 2 year olds just how far away he is. At least we have the blessing of the internet and the postal service, and can "see" and "hug" him that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-1168372679364287572007-01-09T14:57:00.000-05:002007-01-09T14:57:00.000-05:00Argh, I've been feelign so crap about not getting ...Argh, I've been feelign so crap about not getting orus to you on time for you to take it along, so it's been riding around in my purse ever since.

What a great way to let him know how he fits into this world and to know how much people care, even if they have never met him. What a true sense of community, caring, friendship and human nature. What a wonderful way to teach children how to be empathetic, kind, generous, giving, etc. Thank YOU for the opportunity to share a smile with Tanner.
