Thats really lovely @Shaz51 . I'm happy that these people made sure you were aware of how much you meant to them, and how you are appreciated. After some difficult days, I'm glad these incidents 'made your day'.

@Shaz51, while I was at uni, I boarded with a couple who looked after kids through family day care. We still exchange Christmas cards most years. Occasionally when life's been really full on I haven't gotten any posted, but otherwise...
Some people become informally "family". 🙂

Maybe a nice relaxing soak in the bath is in order now @Shaz51 , or a long shower. Cant recall if you have a bath, or not?
