A RAOPK that you'll never forget.

So, where do I start?

October was a dreadful month for me. I'd recently started at a new college and all my friends had gone to university, and to top it all off, I was on a school trip and I had my handbag stolen from the school mini bus, along with my 5 male friend's bags, (one bag was left untouched). You can read about it here:

So, I had an awful month. In that bag, was my NBT Sandcastle, in mint condition. She was my baby, my prize and joy, and honestly, I believe my favourite pony ever. I was so violated and sick, and explained it in WYP.

A few days later, I received a PM from Rosierjay simply saying:

Things are in the works to take care of you dear.

can i get your address? oh and act surprised. k?

To say I was surprised is probably an understatement. I was amazed.

Well, what happened?

A little under a month later, I received a large parcel from a familiar Welsh address, from Ravengusty!
Inside, was a charming letter and Love Token! (Sadly I have no images of her yet, so I shall try to get some tomorrow)
I had wanted Love Token for a long time, so was quite literally thrilled to find her, and the letter said that another something would be along from Rosier soon (and to act surprised!) Thank you Ravengusty! We've already PM'ed, but again, thank you!

And then, 3 weeks later, a small, perfect brown box appeared on my kitchen table as my student had gotten home sooner than I had, and had put it there.

Inside?
A beautiful box of wrapped goodies!!

And lastly, I found a beautiful TINY pink box with a stunning deep purple ribbon wrapped around it, I'd not opened it until last, I didn't know why I'd saved it, but something, was telling me to. It was teeny!

And inside?

BABY SANDCASTLE!

She came home to mamma! 

To say I cried, would probably also be an understatement. The combination of the hand designed card, and all my beautiful, wonderful gifts made me weep for 10 minutes. I couldn't stop hugging Sandcastle. She's so mint, and perfect She's slept by my bed every night since.

All my beautiful gifts:

To say these kind, strangers are angels would be nothing short of the truth. I don't know these people outside of the arena, yet the kindness they have shown has been nothing short of truly heartwarming, touching and beautiful.

I've written you all a 3 page email thanking you, but I think this should be the best way to express my gratitude to you all.

So thank you, Rosierjay for organizing this heroic feat, Ravengusty for your beautiful Love Token, Baby Mischief, for wrapping and sending all the wonderful gifts, and for giving up your Sandcastle, BittieBaby, High Flier, High Flutter, and of course, Wildblue.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all of you, kind and selfless people. The world wouldn't be the same without you. So thank you.

(and sorry for my atrocious photos, I was thrilled, and used my phone!)
