Dear unknown Angel,
I can say with 100% certainty that neither I or my Mom expected our Tuesday to begin in such a humbling, gracious way.
I don’t know who you are, as you put my Mom’s name as the sender to avoid naming yourself on the envelope. I also don’t know how, in this recession, you had the wherewithal to do this. But you did. And now, because you chose to send five hundred dollars to my Mom, she might actually have hot water this winter.
Hearing her crying, shocked voice over the phone was like a punch in the stomach. I wish you could hear, could know what your gift means to her, to me. Because I think words really fail at expressing our profound gratitude.
Whoever you are- thank you. Thank you so much.

That is so touching. I hope at some point in our lives, we will all have the chance to give back like that.
I definitely aim to find a way. Even if it takes me forever and the contributions start out small. THIS is how things get better- small, mostly unknown actions from person to person.
I needed a miracle. Even if it wasn’t mine. Thank you, Angel in Canton, Ohio, for giving a sad girl in Florida a reason to believe in humanity toaday.
*big, squeezy hugs*
You deserve a miracle too, my dear. I’m asking the universe for one, just for you.
Being able to call you my friend is miracle enough.
