I met a beautiful person here on mylot. She lives in the Philippines and is the most precious lady I have ever met.
She friended me here in mylot and we emailed a few times.
She told me she loved to cross stitch but had no way to get a kit.
So I went and laid out some cross stitch kits and chose one for her that I hoped she would like.
I let her know when I mailed it, and she has patiently been waiting.
But the great part is while I was afraid she might think I had just SAID I would send her a package would not necessarially mean I would.
But she just emailed me and let me know the package came and even though the mail is slow between countries, I could tell in her conversation she was so happy.
I was relieved and happy knowing I had really sent it to her but just had to trust the mail would get it to her.
Bless her heart she is such a good heart person.
our friendship extends between oceans, and had it not been for Mylot I might not have gotten the change to exchange friendship with her.

Your story is truly inspiring. I can no longer count the many times myLot has bridged people together, transcended race even.
I hope your friendship with this person will last longer.

I like people in this site, because there are very opened and helpful people, who helps and don't laugh for you. There you can always tell your problem and always someone help you - for me this site not just make money, because I like, I miss people who are there...
If someone want he/she can came to me to visit Latvia, because there often are good people...

Hi marie,
Helping someone in need is such a noble thing to do and you have done exactly that. I am glad that your friend had received the kit and I am sure she appreciates it very much.
The important thing is you have differentiated yourself from the crowd by living up to your word which must have brought a huge smile to your beautiful friends face. May you have a long-lasting friendship.

Thank you I enjoy making friends.
I hate to say but I find foreigners more friendly than my next door neighbors.
But I have been in several foreign states and have always been recieved warmly and welcomed even during war when I was in the Army.
Simply put I love people and love to give to others when I can when I know its something they will enjoy.

That was so nice of you! Mylot is responsible for a lot of things, not the least of which is meeting and learning about people in different countries. I have not "met" anyone here that I didn't think was nice or not helpful. It is also nice that we can pick things we are interested in and get new opinions.

Hi marie: Aww, thanks for sharing with us such a beautiful story. Even if I have never started a relationship with a friend on the site I know it must be really good to feel this way and to have a warm conversation with one of the members on the site. You are very kind for sharing your love with someone in the other side of the world. Hope you get to meet each other someday. Who knows?

that so sweet and it is really really aplauding that mylot helped you both to connect even when you both are thousands of miles apart.It feels great that someone is there for whom you care and there is csomeone who always like to find ways to make you happy.I tell you my story,Its been 2 yrs since i hav ebeen in relation with my mate and we have gone through really really bad times but there were times when we didnt had time to meet each other and it was so frustrating that living in hte same state still there were limitations for us to meet ,and it showed in the converation we had between each other ,we use to fight about simple things and then after banging the phone down we use to cry as to y all these things are happening and its not these things that we both signed in for,there were lull times when we would ignore eachother's pain and still show as if we were unaffected but in reality it was other way round.But htose time sgave us the new understanding about the future that we are going to share and the hurdles that we would be facing in our life.THis made our bond more stronger.The main idea about explaining about all this was to just keep valuing the reltion that you made and never leave it for the expense other problems in your life .This realation will only give you strenght to move forward take care my friend

Aww school, work and even war can seperate sweethearts and put a strain on lives.
Whether you are sweethearts or married, it is a long road and takes a strong part on both sides.
I wish you both the best of everything in life.
If it is meant to be it will be.
but if it is not, learn from the experience, be glad you had that person in your life.
My childhood sweetheart and I never married, we went down different paths, but I think God had a plan for us because we have maintained a friendship for over years.
And we still talk on the internet.
And there is water that seperates us from having a face to face friendship LOL he is in Hawaii and I am in Florida
But its all good. We are only friends. To me he is more like a brother than anything now.
Again good luck with your relationship and while I see you are a newcomer
WELCOME TO MYLOT!

What a lovely friendship, sometimes I wish that there are no boundaries between the lands and no countries and religion too, I imagine a really assorted people in every place. I am so glad that you find a good friendship to my fellow countrymen. Hat's off to you. Please keep that friendships alive.

Me too. That ocean is mighty big between some of us, but I have met some wonderful people when I have been overseas!
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Friendship is the one thing that does not cost a dime and all you have to give is your heart.
You just hope the ones you give it to are genuine friends.
Have a wonderful day!

I have to say that I've met a lot of wonderful people here. I would love to met a certain person who lives in Germany and several who live in England - at least one who is no longer here on the 'lot.
I once sent a bunch of projects to a lady in Massachusetts who was having back surgery.

I think it is really great when people will do that for each other. I still find it hard to spend much time on my cross stitch project. I haven't done anything on it since I got out of the hospital, but I am back in school now and trying to stay on top of everything else. Perhaps I will make it a point to spend at least a little time every day on it so that I don't forget about it for months like I did on my last project.

I congratulate you for that. Filipinos are fun loving, and they can smile a lot. They are kind and gentle. They are beautiful. They are so warm and hospitable. I think you are lucky to have met one. My wishes of good luck for you.

Hello there sis! I know that the person you are referring here is ME! Thank you for starting a topic for me.:) I know this is such a late reply already but as you know, It is just today that I had come again myLotting.
I am really so glad to meet you here. I don't know but I feel that you are a good person that will be true to her words. Never in a second had I doubt you. I just know that you will really sent me. Ohh, for the sake of others, I had received your package! And I would like to THANK YOU again for it. I had started little yet because I am helping my mom arranged her internetshop frokm her two months stall back in here again. You know the story behind that! I started it the day it was delivered and I am doing it when I am so stressed that I can't focus on things. I don't know to other people but cross stitching is a form of therapy for me.I have to divert my attention to it than think of things. After stitching a few hours, all is well again and am relax again.
I have yet to read all comments later. Ofcourse,I am a friend to you forever. I am just here always.. :) Am willing to help in anyway that I can. I hope to gain more friends too.

Thanks for sharing that lovely story. It is a lot of fun to give a present like that and make someone happy.
My experience of doing something similar didn't turn out so well. I had a Greek penpal I'd been writing to for a few years when I was in high school, way before the internet as we know it or even PCs existed. One day she asked me if I could send her an American dress. I found out her size and picked out one I thought would look good on her. It was a new dress. Unfortunately she hadn't told me to send a used dress. It turned out she had to pay duty on the gift before she could get it. I was young and dumb, and it never even occurred to me this would happen. It never occurred to me that she wanted a used dress.

Its little things that can make you smile and have a better day!
