Today, I was talking to very good friend of mine, and she said she would brb, (be right back). She exclaimed with great happiness that she had just received her Mother's Day Gift from her daughter, and it was Godiva Chocolates! Wow! I'm not talking about a box of sweets, I am talking a tower of decadent chocolates. Who could ask for more?
She could.
You see, my dear friend's daughter is thousands of miles away, in a place you don't find most twenty-something females . . . Cynthia is in Iraq. Back in April she found out she was going to stay another 5 months in Iraq. I wondered before Mother's Day, how Cynthia would get a gift to her mom.
Today, I found out the true power of the internet and I am reveling in the good of it all. My friend, who will remain nameless, was thrilled for the TOWER of chocolates but I know that she truly would have been much happier to see her daughter. The gift that SGT Cynthia purchased via the internet and sent her mom, was only a second best comparatively. Having her bright and beautiful face here would have been the best!
I sell beauty shears, grooming shears, and professional barber shears on the net at ShearsforHair.com . This is how I make my living and feed my child; who gratefully is here with me tonight. I like to think that most of my Internet browsing, checking and answering mail, receiving orders from my great customers is important. And it is! I do indulge in the jokes, the YouTube videos, and even listen to the radio through my computer occasionally. But, today, I saw the great power of the Internet in my friend's smile, no joke.
This is not a political statement, so please don't start a debate about Iraq, Afghanistan, or any other war. This is merely my observation of how the Internet changed a friend's life today for the better. This is about how the Internet made a connection between a brave young woman in Iraq and her mother in NC. It is how the Internet allowed her to make sure her mom knew that she couldn't be here but, she loves her, misses her, and wishes her a Happy Mother's Day!
Remember, as you go through your day, the GOOD in the Internet. Great deals, good friends, relatives, and connections; even if they are thousands of miles away! Don't' forget Mother's Day is Sunday, May 10th this year. ShearsforHair does is proud to ship to military folks and APO Addresses.
