Today I received a mystery package in the post.

It turned out to be a box full of kindness from a former student who read Sunday’s post about my first Father’s Day without my dad. 

The cookies were accompanied by a lovely note.

In that moment, I felt so cared for. I felt valued and understood. 

What a blessing to receive such kindness. 
What an honour to know that a former student likes and respects me enough to do something so sweet and generous. 

Finally, those cookies! They’re sensational – and almost too pretty to eat.

Only almost, though.
