first star to the right and straight on till morning

[dephigravity]

A remarkable thing just happened; my mother just brought home the mail and we are both truly humbled and grateful for some of the best people I have ever known.

Fandom can sometimes be such a harsh and fickle place, but other times it can bring out the best in people. It can form bonds between people that transcends both countries and cultures, and isn't reliant on 'Real Life' limitations. Some of the people I have met in fandom, are truer friends than most of the people I have in my so-called life. A notion that was resoundingly proven to my family today with a simple package that showed up in today's mail.

A group of my closest fandom friends banded together and gave me something that is utterly priceless to me and I will remember it every time I gaze up to the sky. There is now a star in the sky, that shines more brightly than the rest-- even if just for me-- and its name is Gracie.

I don't even know how to possibly begin to thank you all for this wonderful gift, words just cannot possibly convey how I feel right now. So I hope you will accept my (and my mother's) humble gratitude and know that you all truly mean the world to me. ♥♥♥

Thank you, transfixeddream, fiercelynormal, shinyslasher, dugindeep, roundaboutit, untitleddemo, ldyghst, and akadougal. I will treasure this, and your friendships forever.
