The Generosity of Others

Dear Bump,

Today, the guest bed is piled high with wonderful things that have been dropped off here for you by a very beautiful lady (your Aunt). They are from a very generous lady (her boss), whose own little boys won't be using them anymore, because they (the boys) are getting so big.

And so I am thinking of how kind and giving people really can be, even to people they don't know. And how, sometimes, it's actually easier to be kind and giving to people you don't know. But we won't go into that right now. It's a subject that'll probably come up sometime in the future, and we can talk about it then. I'm looking forward to talking with you, finding out all about you, and being there for you as you explore life on earth.

I think your mom and dad will be really happy when they see your pile of goodies. They will be thankful. They will know that there are a lot of good thoughts behind the gesture, and everyone feels good when they know that someone has been thinking of them in a kind and loving way. Bump, it is very important to be kind and loving to others. And also to be thankful.

Hugs and kisses,
Nana (or Gamma or whatever you decide you want to call me)
