Dear Matty,

You, brother of mine, are amazing. You call me last night, only to find me in a bit of a "shambles" type of situation...super stressed about work, thinking way too much about some personal-life things going on (nothing horrible...just confusing and a little stressful), more tired and exhausted than I have been in a LONG time (as in, barely hanging on and dark circles under my eyes), and on top of all that? Crying. Not just a few tears running down my cheeks...but full on crying. Breathing abnormally and all. Rubbing my face and eyes with a Q Center dinner napkin. (Paper...not even linen or something nice!)

So what do you do? You listen to me talk (parts of it hard to understand), give me some advice, tell me you love me, tell me you wish I was geographically closer so you could give me a big hug, and allow me to really just be a super hard person to talk to. Seriously. I was a mess last night. But you put up with it all, acted the part of the wonderful big brother, and then...

...had these delivered to me today at the Q Center:

Really?! Are you for real?!?! I was absolutely floored. And then proceeded to cry again.

Here was my conversation with the desk lady:
Her - "Ms. Olson, we have a delivery for you to come pick up at the desk."
Me - "Huh? I didn't order anything."
Her - "Well there's something here for you, and I'm sure you'll want to come down and pick it up so you can take them back to your room and enjoy them."
Me - "Ooooooo-kay. I'll be right down."

No idea what the heck I'm going to get, I throw on sweatpants and head to the front desk (which at the Q Center is approximately a 1 mile walk from the suite guest rooms that I stay in)...wondering the whole time "What in the world am I going to pick up?"

Then I walk up to the desk and see a giant flower delivery...and nothing else. Could it be? Are those for me?! Indeed. You are truly amazing, and I'm so lucky to have you, and I love you so very much.

Thanks for being so great. You are one of a kind.

And yes...I will, in fact, be taking those with me on my cross-country journey tomorrow. Piece of cake. I'm a seasoned traveler.

Love,
Your little sister
