When I was younger I used to travel to England by boat, somewhere halfway I would throw in a bottlepost.
Most of the time I would get a reply after a few months. One reply was very special.
My bottlepost got stuck in an old dutch fishermans net. He didn´t know much english and I can´t write in dutch so we started to correspond using dictionaries. As you understand that was not an easy task, so we started to send small things - like sovenirs, photos - just to let the other one know "hey, I´m thinking of you but can´t write much". He used to send small presents for my children. This lasted about 20 yrs then the letters would come more seldom but I kept sending letters and cards. I got someone to help me write some sentences in dutch and I got a reply from his even olderly sister that he had Alzheimers
and he was in a bad shape. A few months later I got a letter from his sister saying he had passed away 
We had never met in person but we had a very special friendship and I traesure his gifts.
One is a wallplate showing a fisherman mending his net, got it on my kitchen wall and the other one is a small plastic sledge (christmas decoration) that my kids took a liking to. Every year my oldest son would hang it near the topstar of the Christmas tree and put a santa in the sledge. When he got older my other children would take over and hang it - so every Christmas we think of Piet and our special friendship. Up till this day we still hang it near the topstar of our christmas tree.
and yes I do miss him !

Finally had time to sit and look at the forumns and wanted to see if the person we sent our St. Patricks mission have wrote anything or even posted a picture of what they received for St. Patty's Day. We don't recall seeing Anything. That is to sad, we thought they would of enjoyed it alot, and be proud to what they have gotten in the mail.
Just our thoughts.
