I did not get a response back from my son...several days later I heard from a friend of mine in Baltimore who had just gotten back from visiting her son in Texas over the holiday...so I sent off this e mail to my son.
Son...
I just got a phone call from my friend in Baltimore...she just returned from Texas where she was spending the holiday with her son and family...she received the box that I sent her and was confused as there were things in there that did not appear to be for her...
A painted box ...with writing on the bottom...to your wife
A painted holder for the dog leash (which I had forgot about on the list I sent you
A box of candy from Sister
She will overnight the items to me to rewrap...when I get them I will immediately send them out.
I had a great many packages and boxes filled with gifts when I went to the UPS Store....and once there they wanted everything that was breakable separated so I had to pull them from the original bags (I tried to put all the gifts in individual bags so that everything was accounted for) I usually pack the boxes myself as you know, but there were to many items that were breakable for me to feel comfortable...so I paid the extra for them to do that for me. Won't be doing that again anytime to soon.
I sent gifts to 3 different addresses that day...and I must of mixed up the bubble wrapped items or UPS mixed them up...either way it was an honest mistake.
Your wife's box was the first one that I made...back in July....and of all the items, at this moment to be missing....I can understand why you might thing it was hurtful...it certainly was not done intentionally...
I am sorry this happened...but at leas the mystery is solved...and the gifts will be on the way...I hope that this will make everyone feel better...I try very hard to be even all the way around with gifts...and I know we talked about how I was making something for everyone...which I did with love.
I would appreciate it if you wrote me back so that I know you understand.
XO
Mom
