Christmas for Charlene
Description
I wrote to my Mother’s friend from the time I was a child. We had little but this special woman sent me a Christmas gift every year. One year she sent a beautiful doll I named Charlene and still have. Until last August I had never met Charlene who is now 92. She lives in an assisted care community in Duluth, MN. We were in Wisconsin and my husband said, Honey…let’s go meet your friend. It was an incredible visit. I always write and when I told her I had made a pillow for my husband’s grand daughter’s wedding she said there could never be anything so wonderful as to receive a gift like that. So, I made her a pillow. It is the one I will now post. Kathy Seiler

Thank you so much for you thoughtful note. I received the most wonderful thank you note from Charlene. It is amazing how articulate she is is at almost 93. The note made it all worth it! Kathy

I am learning so much about her since we met and I can see such a difference in our conversations. We are planning on seeing Charlene this next summer again. Thank you for you nice words and time.
