Today I stopped by the post office to mail some letters and check my P.O. box for my business mail. I was surprised to see what looked like a personal note in my P.O. box addressed to my daughter and me. I of course couldn't wait to see what it was, so I opened it in the car and proceeded to read the note in the post office parking lot. I was so touched by what I read that I had to share.
"Dear Emily and Cheryl,
I just finished reading your beautiful book for the first time. I have not written an author since I was in grade school and wrote to Dr. Seuss, but I had to write you immediately. Thank you for writing it to share with us. I love the idea of a Mommy Orphanage! Our daughter, was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan - a short distance from the western border of China. She is almost two years old. With all my heart, I hope that she too will say that she would have picked me for her mommy when she is old enough to understand your story.
Warmly and Sincerely,
Genevieve Wolfe"
A note like this makes the time and effort we put in to The Mommy Orphanage all worthwhile. I am honored that Genevieve chose to read our book and I'm just thrilled that she enjoyed it! Her note really made my day :-) Thank you Genevieve!
