I love the way that Live Journal can facilitate connections that exceed its boundaries. Over the past year we've received the Hogwarts Lego set from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chrisglass, wonderful children's records from danthered, two very special care packages from the incomparable Ozric Dampierre, and lots of missives from people we would probably never have heard from -- or heard from again, in the case of the "Remember me?" messages -- without our presence on the internet.
It'sfao, though, who gets the prize for long-distance LJ friendship. Look what just came in the mail:
Reading of my struggles to understand his intriguing Spanish-language musings -- I can tell they're wonderful even when I can't figure out exactly what they are saying -- and Skylar's excitement in taking her first Spanish class, he ever so generously mailed us some of his childhood Spanish books. I'm overwhelmed with delight. There's a lot of darkness in the world right now, a good deal of it instigated by my own increasingly Death Star-like homeland. But people like Felipe give me hope. I encourage any of you who read Spanish to check out his Live Journal, because it's a shining star in the clouded over firmament of the personal blogosphere.
