I received a package in the mail yesterday, and I wasn’t even expecting anything. I hadn’t ordered anything, so this came as a complete surprise to me.

I opened it up, and guess what? It was Ruth’s Teddy Bear! There was a letter with Teddy from all three: Ruth, Joe and Irma.

“We’ve all had a great time with you, Naomi,” it began. “Mom and Dad apologized to me for kicking Teddy to the floor while you were here, but I know that you were the one who dropped him. Poor Teddy!”

(I think the next part was from Irma) “Ruth is going to be in town shortly after you get this. Could you give her a place to stay? Teddy will make her feel more comfortable, you know.”

(I think Joe was next) “I heard you got a new, snazzy convertible. Drive it safely and take care of Ruth when she comes. She’ll be coming on the bus.”
