Thank-you Pixies!

I've said it here before...Lee and I have been overwhelmed by the support we have received. It has come from far and wide, in many forms and each one a blessing. You all know who you are: some have offered kidneys (wow), some have babysat, sent meals, fetched and carted our kids, prayers, flowers calls and emails...it's just been truly amazing! Those are the people we know...

There has been help from an unknown sector however, which has had us guessing for some time. We just called them the pixies cos we never saw 'em. We would get home from work to find a cooked meal, in a dish, ready to eat. All Prudence knew was that it was from "anudder baas...or anudder madam..". These pixies need to know how big their 'little' gestures have been! Of course, we have been unable to thank them, because we have never seen them...well, until I caught two in the act this week!

Late Tuesday afternoon, a strange, well dressed lady rings our gate bell. In her hands a large pasta dish closed with foil. "Are you Terry?" she asks. Turns out she was the same lady who delivered a full roast chicken a few nights prior. Not even half an hour later, the bell rang again. This time, a strange man holding a large foil tray - chicken casserole. "Hi, are you Terry?"

So of course, I interrogated both. Turns out they are parents of kids in Jason and Greg's classes at Merchiston. Nolene, a friend and fellow parent had rallied the class parents to our cause, and they came to the party. Thank you Nolene, and thank you, all you little pixies!

The most amazing thing is...we never asked. We just made our needs known where it counts most, and they were provided.
