my ss told me that i was her person, this is not a joke. i will have no surprise. when i asked who she had she said YOU. i thought she was kidding and said WHO do you REALLY have again she said YOU. the info i sent about what i wanted was totally out of the box for me, no one in a million years would have guessed what i asked for in FQ's, it has been confirmed she is my ss and i cried! i wish she didn't tell me.

ok.. this is my Special Christmas memory that's my most treasured.

My father passed away in 2007, and my daughter was born on December 15, the next year. So he never met her. At Christmas of 08 I was in the family room relaxing with the baby and there were some presents already under the tree (we decided that we wouldn't do a huge Christmas because I wasn't in the mood for anything huge. My grandmother (who was 87 at the time) and my mom were with my husband, daughter and me. We opened up the few packages we had early, and went to eat dinner. Every bit of wrapping paper was picked up, and each of us had our gifts in a pile. We went into the other room which has a clear view of the family room and ate Christmas dinner. Mom and I cleaned up while my husband went into the family room with the baby and my grandmother. They walked in and my husband called "Jenn, get here now!" I thought something was horribly wrong with the baby from the tone in his voice. Mom and I ran into the family room and sitting under the tree was a wooden train that I had when I was little that my dad had made for me. I picked it up and on the bottom of it it looked like a small letter E was carved in the bottom of it. My daughters name is Emma.

No door opened, and no one came into the house. SO my best Christmas memory is my father giving his granddaughter a handmade gift that was once mine (and no one had seen it for over 20 years)

I don't know how it got there, or where it was, or how the E got there, but it was there and Emma has something from her grandfather.

Ok.. I'm stopping because I'm in tears. Dad's birthday would have been on November 9th.. so yea, it's getting close.

She thought I was being me, the naughty peach because I kept encouraging her to open it. I actually sent her 2 packages about 1 week apart to throw her off. I am excited about my person and the stuff I got her. I guess that is the important part.

Peachy...now you know that even if you think you do know for sure...you don't. Things do seem to get swapped around somehow and things change, so ya' just never know! And if you don't get off the naughty list, you won't have to worry about it anyway..:wink:
