Best Mail Day Ever!

I got the best mail ever today, and it wasn't a prize. A while ago I found a fantastic site donorschoose.org. I made a small donation to help a needy class get dictionaries...and then really did not give much thought to it again.
Today I came home to a large envelope full of thank you letters from the class that I donated to. The letters were so touching and some very humorous, they really brought tears to my eyes.
In one letter the little girl talked about how their teacher told them not to break the brand new dictionaries lol....In another letter a little boy said he wanted me to come visit him. They also included photos of themselves using the dictionaries...so fabulous!
I don't think anyone or thing can wipe this very huge smile off of my face today.
