Cupcake edifying but not fattening.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today through one of the long suffering husbands restaurants I received \u00a0a package. It looked like an IKEA light but on the front it stated clearly \u2018 this is not an IKEA light \u2018 so intrigued I opened it to find the most delicious delectable framed picture of a cupcake. Made of wool, silky silvery threads, fronds, squirls, candy colours \u00a0with a cherry on top. It is a small and perfectly formed work of art that \u00a0looks good enough to eat.
\nIntrigued I read the enclosed letter.<\/p>\n

It is from a reader of this blog. The letter was moving, funny \u2013 I mean laugh out loud funny \u2013 moving, sad, heart warming and sent to say Alison\u2019s Diary blog has helped her through a few dark days over the past few years.<\/p>\n

As I read the letter I felt tears rolling down my cheeks.<\/p>\n

She had no idea.<\/p>\n

The timing was impeccable.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I was discharged from hospital after a two week stay and have recently had a few dark days of my own.<\/p>\n

Whilst I read her letter she put a smile on my face, sadly lacking over the past wee while, and helped me remember how I felt before all this recent drama. \u00a0She unwittingly has helped me in just the way she says this blog of disorganised outpourings has helped her.<\/p>\n

So thank you.<\/p>\n

Thank you for the letter<\/p>\n

Thank you for the picture.<\/p>\n

Thank you for reminding me a blog is not just a blog it is two way support mechanism for the like minded.<\/p>\n

And thank you for getting me from the bed to the desk to the pc to the blog. \u00a0Here we go again…..<\/p>\n

Most of all thank you for it being today of all days.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Onward and upward\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n
