Gratitude

Dear Mrs. Patient,

I'm glad you're feeling better. It was nice of you to send me a thank you card. I actually treasure notes like yours, and keep them in (as my friend Amanda Brown calls it) the "I don't suck box." On really bad days I read stuff from it for solace, and to reassure myself that I really am doing my best, and some people appreciate that.

BUT I must admit, none of the notes I've previously received, in 15 years of doing this, came on a card with a picture quite like yours:

It is probably an old postcard, and rather cute at that. The problem for me, working now in the aviation design field, is trying to figure out what model airliner that is(assuming that is a real one depicted). Perhaps I need to get a life...

If this is the best he has after two weeks, it apparently wasn't long enough.
