A Heartwarming Story

A friend in the Willamette Valley sent me this.
This is a story that will warm your heart, especially if you have lost faith in human
kindness.

This letter was sent to the principal's office after an elementary school had sponsored a luncheon for the elderly. An old lady had received a new radio at the lunch as a door prize, and was writing to say thank you. This story is a credit to all humankind. After reading it you may agree and forward it to anyone you know who might need a lift today!


Dear Faculty and Students,

God bless you for the beautiful radio I won in the drawing at your recent senior citizens' luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at the Assisted Living Home for the Aged. All of my family has passed away, so I am all alone in the world. It's nice to know someone is thinking of me. God bless you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady. My roommate for the past few years is 9 5 and always had her own radio. Before I received this one, she would never let me listen to hers, even when she was napping. The other day, her radio fell off the night stand and broke into a lot of little pieces. It was awful and she was in tears. She asked if she could listen to mine and I said fuck you.

Thank you for that opportunity.

Sincerely, Agnes
