I just saw everyone else's thank yous and felt I had to add mine!

Thank you!

My kid got me a deck for my b-day. This was in June of last year so I got the pre-order confirmation in a card essentially.

And we joked in August about when they'd arrive like 'hey maybe for Christmas lol'. At this stage I think your estimate was October or something. And then time passed.... and it became October, and then November and then December. I'd almost forgotten about it.

Then we're going down to see the rest of the family for Christmas Eve, sitting on the train, and they pull out a Christmas present for me - my pride deck! Wrapped and everything! So I did get my b-day gift for Christmas. XD

And I was delighted, it's a lovely deck and the art is beautiful.

It was a bright spot on that day, as our extended family is quite phobic and we're both closeted to them. At least we had that beautiful moment of pride and mutual acceptance and belonging. <3

Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment <3
