Heartwarming.

My friend Kerri, who I never see anymore unfortunately, sends me some very cute e-mails. Because I haven't felt like writing much lately, and this tickled my fancy, I thought I'd share:

This 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.

Dear Faculty and Students,

God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior citizens' luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at an Assisted Home for the Aged. All of my family has passed away. I am all alone now and it's nice to know someone is thinking of me. God bless you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady. My roommate is 95 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


Perhaps later, when I am done packing my office's crap for the move to a different building on Base, I will write.
