This will warm your heart. Just when you have lost faith in human kindness.
Someone who teaches at an Elementary in Thorsby forwarded the following letter. The letter was sent to the principal's office after the school had Sponsored a luncheon for the elderly. An old lady received a new radio at the lunch as a prize and was writing to say thank you. This story is a credit to all humankind.
Dear Thorsby School.
God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior citizens luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at the Sunnybrook Assisted Home for the Aged. My family have all passed away and I am alone so thank you for your kindness to a forgotten old lady. My roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio, but she would never let me listen to hers, even when she was napping.
The other day her radio fell off the nightstand and broke into a lot of pieces. It was awful and she was in tears.
She asked if she could listen to mine but I told her to feck off.
Thank you for that opportunity.
Sincerely,
Edna.

I'm planning on being an old lady like that.

I felt sure someone would come back to ME and say "You already are"

I felt sure someone would come back to ME and say "You already are" Actually I was wondering when you were planning to start. Seems a long way off
