Expelliarmus!!!

A very dear family friend of mine and my dad's doesn't send chatty catch-up-with-you type emails at all but I always know he's there. Last week on Thanksgiving, he sent me the following message:

Go to the toy store.

Buy Hermione's wand (Harry Potter).

Put a label on it, "Abbey's wand of power".

Rub it across your liver and cast the Patronus charm, "Expelliarmus".

The Patronus charm is projected by focus[ing] on a really happy experience.

Imagine your Patronus fighting the cancer cells.
Keep the wand where you can see it.

Use it when you walk by.

Love to you and yours,

steve & Jane

Few words and to the point, that's Steve (well, in writing anyway!!!). But it meant the world to me! I was so touched and I still have warm fuzzies lingering in my heart from his message.

Amazon notified me that the wand shipped yesterday.
