A letter from a reader...

Someone sent me an email yesterday; it was very dear so I asked her if I could post it below:

Dear Megan,

I have been reading your blog for what I suppose has been nearly 3 years and I have never sent you a comment or communicated with you in any way, yet I have been right here with you on your travels all along.

I found your blog though myspace, my great granddaughter made my account so I could look at pictures of her children and somehow one day I pressed a wrong button and found you.

I followed you from there to your website (this is so much easier for me and many others I am sure) and I have been a faithful reader ever since.

I wanted to tell you.

I thought you should know that you have touched my life and I do so hope that you are able to fulfill all your dreams of being a ‘well respected author’.

That and I wondered if you would put up a larger picture of the very small one you have in the corner of your website. My eyes are not what they once were and I simply cannot make out your features, or that darling chain.

I am sure others would feel the same.

Respectfully Yours,
Margaret

P.S.
Did you know that the name Megan derived from Margaret? Just a tidbit for you


I have received many emails over the past few years, many wonderful emails.

Margaret’s email stood out to me because as I suspected, she is well into her 80’s and I am completely flattered and tickled pink to have anyone of her tenor reading and enjoying anything I write.

I have always had a deep admiration and respect for those senior to myself and I think I have so much to learn from them.

We all do.

But that is for another blog.

Margaret, here is the picture below (the necklace was a gift from my husband this past Christmas) and thank you again for your lovely letter.
