A (young) old Friend of mine (and some of you will remember him too) contacted me again recently on My FaceBook. That was a surprise, though he does contact me every other year or so - but there is more to tell. His name is Micah Adams and "we" mostly knew him as "bunnyhunter" here. Like me, his finances always seemed to be one of his shortages but he has a heart that has no shortcomings what so ever. He used to pitch in with my "cheerleading", in grand shape during St. Jude Auctions, and any other fund raising efforts that involved children or good deeds - bless his heart. You may recall this fact about him in particular, as I do.
After this most recent contact had aged, just a month or so, Micah asked for my snail-mail, as he wanted to send me something that he knew I would enjoy.
Two days ago I received a package from him, and opened it to expose a beautiful, functional, obviously hand-made back quiver. After admiring it by sight and feel, something clicked with me. I sent Micah a message of appreciation and pleasure, also asking if he had made it himself, or if it was perhaps one of "Barb"s.
My memory isn't always as sharp as it used to be but this time it was spot on. I seemed to recall that our late, dear friend Barb (Dumas), known to some, affectionately as "Quiver Gal", had made and sent a (surprise) quiver to "bunnyhunter", as she so dearly loved to do for her friends.
As I told Micah, I was very moved that he had chosen to send the quiver to me, and I was sure that Barb would be too.
Bless them both, bless us all.
