Friday, January 23rd my husband called me to let me know he was on his way home from work and that he had a present for me in the car. He said he had no idea what it was as it was from everyone at the office. My curiosity was piqued.
Once home, he handed me a brightly wrapped package.
I opened it up and inside was a big box of chocolates, two envelopes, and a cute little purple bucket with flowers on it. In the bucket I saw two big chocolate bars. As I took the chocolate bars out it seemed like there was something else in the bucket. I tipped it forward so I could see in it and instantly my eyes were flooded with tears and my hands began to shake, I was so overwhelmed. I reached in the bucket and pulled out a wad of cash only to have more cash spill out of the bucket on to my lap. I was crying and laughing and shaking and couldn’t seem to compose myself. I then grabbed the envelope that looked like a card and opened it. It read “Here is a bucket for your bucket list. You are in all of our thoughts! ~Your Parallax family” and it was signed by nearly everyone who works at Parallax. These wonderful people took up a collection to help me fund my bucket list wishes!
Next I opened the business envelope from Parallax and inside was a heartfelt letter from Ken Gracey on behalf of the company and again, I was completely blown away. The letter outlined that Parallax was going to provide Chris and I will with a travel reimbursement so that he and I could go on vacation to some of the places on my bucket list. Wow! Just WOW! So now, not only are my travel expenses covered, I have spending money to really enjoy the time I have left. All I could do was cry tears of happiness and gratitude.
The incredible generosity that Parallax and all of it’s employees has shown me humbles me to my very core. I am so very lucky and grateful to know such wonderful people. I am truly blessed. I look forward to planning trips to the mountains and to the ocean and I owe it all to some very generous souls who wanted to make sure my wishes were fulfilled.
THANK YOU PARALLAX AND THANK YOU PARALLAXIANS! YOU ROCK!!!
