Mail Call - A Parcel from abroad...

in #community6 years ago

A little while ago, I read a post from a father about his young son who was doing it tough while dealing with some family issues, so I thought I'd brighten his day by sending him a little something to cheer him up.

It was well received and I was happy in the knowledge I could help make the lad smile.

Well today I went to the post office and lo and behold, that same young man had sent me a package in return.

I carefully opened the box and began to unwrap it.

An amazing piece of an anthill casting, mounted with a bunch of shells from near the Mighty Mississippi River.

To say I love it is a massive understatement and I now must decide whether to keep it displayed at home, or whether it would look better on my desk at work.

Thankyou @evans-adventures and @johndoer123. It's amazing.

Great post and way to tell a story. Evan and I are extremely happy it made it. Evan thinks you should keep it at work. Thanks for posting this. He had been a little worried that it might get lost in the mail. The smile on his face when I showed him his was as big as it has ever been. We're glad you like it. I hope the rest of your week is wonderful. Thanks again friend.

I was a little surprised that customs didn't open it up for a closer look as quarantine laws (particularly in Tasmania) are quite strong on biosecurity so thought the pine base may have been flagged to confirm that it was treated.

That's great, what a fantastic story!

How I wish I receive that one too..veey wonderful and unique sculpture, thank you @johndoer123 and @evans-adventures both of you. You male people happy.
