Kindness

Everyone has been so kind and supportive the last few days. I wanted to record some of these things to have to look back on later in life.

A few days prior to the concert I told my sister that I was nervous. She sent me this text filled with sisterly love...

I especially love the touching ending. Better get a kleenex!

I didn't tell many people that I had even entered the contest until I was invited to perform in the concert. When I did tell people their responses were all so kind!












It was especially tender the day of the concert when throughout the day I got text messages like this...



My sister left me a prize on my doorstep prior to the concert. It was a little book with the story of how one of my favorite Christmas songs, "A Baby Changes Everything" by Faith Hill, was written and came into her hands with a cd single of the song (which I haven't stopped listening to since).
There was a little note of encouragement inside...

I wish I'd seen it before leaving the concert, but I didn't find it 'til after. It was so sweet!

Then after the concert these started arriving. Callie's brought me right to tears!


I text my friend who was out of town at 12:30am. Chris asked WHO I was texting at that hour. "Em." I figured I'd text her and she could just see it when she woke up the next day. IMMEDIATELY I got this response...

My friends, the Peck family, are a football family. Dave coaches a team. Whenever they have a big win I make celebratory cinnamon rolls and deliver them for breakfast the next morning. I called Dave and left him a message that said, "Dave, it's Paige. I've got bad news for you. You're going to have to figure out how to make cinnamon rolls because I won first prize last night!"

Last night he showed up on my doorstep. With these!

Everyone has been so kind! All the kind comments on my blog, being emailed to me, texted to me, comments made in person and over the phone have made this such an incredible experience!! I am SOOOO thankful!!
