Something very special

     I am a big lover of vests, all different kinds of them - sports, classic, fur. In my opinion, they always look very stylish and give me more opportunity to mix and match them creating a bigger variety of looks. Plus, I always feel more comfortable going shopping and driving a car in a vest because I do not get as hot inside the stores and I have freedom to turn the wheel of my car.

      Today I want to show you something very special. Last spring I got a call from my ex-boss who now lives in Michigan. She said that she is planning to come to town and she has a vest which she can bring for me if I want it. When she told me a little more about the brand and the fabric it was made from, I realized right away - it was something very expensive. I didn't know what to say. I felt that it would be too much for a present, but I also wouldn't be able to afford to buy it from her. After I carefully tried to explain my feelings, she just replayed "I will bring it over".

     I want to say a little bit more about this women. Her name is Madeline. I know that a lot of good things happened with me and my family because of her... I will never be able to thank her enough for her support, wisdom, kindness and her big heart. She hired me when I hardly spoke English and taught me a lot from her own example on how to work, how to live my life here and how to treat others. I have learned a lot from her and she has always been a true role model for me.  She has a very special place in my heart.

     Madeline, look at me! This vest belongs to me - the size, the quality, the style. What a gift! I want to say Thank you so much! I fell in love with this item from the first sight! And I am sure that it will live a long, happy life in my closet! Love you!

      Of course, Madeline! I love this vest so much! I feel myself very confident in it. Thank you again! I translated your expression and it is interesting - we say it exactly the same in Russia.
