Oh Eddie, what a wonderful thread!
I got broadsided several years ago. I was unhurt but shaken up of course. A couple of days later one of my sons sent me a package of goodies. Inside the box was a copy of his favorite book from childhood "Goodnight Moon". He inscribed it telling me how much that book soothed him when he was little and hoped it did the same for me..
I cried and cried and put it on my nightstand, where it stays.( and still gets read)
