A few days ago, I received this message:

Hi ScopeOfTheFatedSky, So I don't know if you remember or not, but in early 2011, you were supposed to receive a gift after signing up in the /r/books 2011 secret santa gift exchange. My name is Takeshi. I'm the jerk that never sent your gift, and I am sorry. Both I and my circumstances have changed, and I would really like to make things right. Would you be willing to accept a gift from me?

I was floored! I couldn't believe that this person cared enough to try to make up for it. I'd long since forgotten about r/books 2011, and was fine with not receiving a gift (everyone goes through hard times, and I totally understood), but this WONDERFUL redditor decided that they were going to make up for it-- and sanguination went above and beyond!

I got not one, not two, but FIVE books-- AND a movie! Almost better than the gifts were the sweet notes that came long with them. sanguination explained why each book was sent, and obviously put so much care into the thought process.

I'm honestly glad this is late. I just got diagnosed with a tough disease, multiple sclerosis, and this act of kindness came at exactly the right time. I have been struggling and sad, and the support I have gotten from family, friends, and redditors has gotten me through. Now, I have something that's going to keep me so happy for a long time. I can't stop smiling.

Sanguination, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. You are wonderful and amazing, and I can't wait to start reading!!!
