Brian received a Christmas card in the mail yesterday that was quite unlike any other card he received this year. Now he sends cards to all his clients, and naturally he gets quite a few cards in return. As I mentioned before, it's not uncommon for him to receive small gifts from clients, like gift cards, cookies and beef jerkey. He gets a lot of beef jerkey. But I digress... So he opens this card yesterday to find that it's not from a client. It's from a potential client, that is someone he's met with but hasn't actually started helping, yet. This potential client was one of the first people with whom Brian shared news of our pregnancy (we weirdly felt comfortable telling strangers outside our daily circles early on, before we made the news known to family & close friends), and these relative strangers did the most touching and unexpected thing. People who have never met me and who have only talked with Brian once or twice included a $50 gift card to Babies-R-Us in his Christmas card.
He called these people to thank them immediately, but I think maybe I'll write them a thank you note this weekend.
How's that for holiday spirit?
