Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I have to preface this by saying we are staying in a very small town-the mail carrier walks everywhere. This morning I got a call from the Post Office-they have to send the truck out to our house and would I be at home to accept delivery of some packages? Of course! So up pulls the mail truck with TEN boxes from Amazon.com! My original plan was to wait until the older girls come home to open them, but the three year old couldn't wait. It was like Christmas! She recognized almost all of them and at one point said "I'm so happy. All our books came home to us!"
Thank you, everyone, for your kindness. Thank you notes will be forthcoming, but I wanted to let everyone know the books are arriving and they are like old friends coming home again.
May our good Lord bless each and every one of you.
Jennifer

Hey Jennifer! Since more folks were asking, I added a bunch more books to the list. I hope that's OK.

I just now saw this thread! Had no idea books were being sent for Jennifer, but some more are now on the way. Jennifer, I'm so sorry for all that you've been going through ... ordered one for you, too, for a little Mother Culture ....

Many blessings,

That's awfully sweet, Jennifer. I'm sitting here all weepy over the books "coming home". What a nice thing to say. Happy reading!

Doesn't this remind you of the scene in Boxes for Katje? I boo-hooed thru the hwhole thing, but in a happy way.

Blessings to all of you Jenn -- this should help with the PS problem a bit.....
