Love boxed up.
August6
On my way into my office yesterday morning, I saw the company mailman carrying a striped box that looked adorable. I jokingly told him that I wished he was bringing the box to me and he informed me that he was actually doing that very thing!
I opened the box as soon as I got into my office but, after looking at the first two pages of it, I decided to grab my video camera and capture the moment for you. Well, not for YOU, actually. It’s more for my college girls, so they can see how much I loved it when I first saw the pages, especially since they’re scattered across the United States right now. But, as they watch, so can you.
Also? Please ignore the part around 4:05 where I begin crying.
Starlite college girls? I love you.
That is the sweetest gift in the world.
That is such a sweet gift! Thank you for making me cry (I am such a mush pie!).
That is so sweet! What a great group of girls you have there
I am so proud of these girls for showering you with love after all that you have poured into their lives. In this scrapbook you will always have a tangible reminder from God that Starlite did make a difference. I know you will cherish this forever.
Unbelievably sweet. What a treasure.
we love you too!!! <3!!!!
And now we are ALL crying! Such a sweet gift – but then they learned from the best gift-er around, didn’t they?!?!
So, so crying right now. Oh my. This was an unbelievable gift!! Perfect. Heartwarming. You deserved every page, every word.
Oh Amy Beth, that is precious! Thank you for sharing that with us. I cried and I cried. Praying for you through this time, so good of God to give you such a big hug through your girls.
All I can say is that I’m glad I don’t have any mascara on today. WOW. Amy Beth, what a treasure! And the amazing thing is that little scrapbook only represents a tiny little chapter of your life. He is still writing your story and the best is yet to come. I’m just glad I get to read about it on your pink polka dot blog!!
How sweet is that!! What a very special blessing.
Oh my goodness- what a bunch of sweet girls Amy Beth- you’re so lucky to have had them as they’ve had you and Starlite. How touching… it brought tears to my eyes…
Awww!!! XOXOXO
How sweet! And I definitely joined you in the tears, and they aren’t even MY memories!
I’m so glad that the rest of your loyal blog readers are just as big of cry babies as me; that was just about the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m so glad that you were blessed so much by this gift…
I can’t imagine a more meaningful gift. And it arrived in such a cute box!
“…so that you will know that you are loved, treasured and important…” Don’t ever forget it.
How beautiful!!
So thoughtful of the girls to do that – truly amazing.
You are fabulous!
That was really cool, I am so glad they did that for you. I am glad they were able to touch your heart a little after you did so much to touch theirs.
What an incredible gift! It’s SO clear the impact you’ve had on them, and then to think about all the other girls you had the opportunity to love on through Starlite! Wow! You deserve every one of those words.
So…I am a little late….but I adore you AB. And I might venture to say that your legacy will truly live on in the lives you have touched through the years.
Thanks for giving us you. You are such a beautiful, beautiful woman, someone each of us hopes to emulate.
I’m glad that you liked it ABB!! We just wanted to do something for you since you are always doing so much for everyone else!!! Besides, there’s no way I could imagine my college experience without you and Starlite!!!
