Dear new grocery cashier,
It must have been hard to see the number of folks lined up behind me, impatient to check-out. Twice you called for a price check, but no-one responded. Rather than getting flustered, you took ownership: "How about I give you these for the price of the xxxxx?"
Young lady, I've a hunch you're going places.
Dear Richard,
Following Sue's surgery last week, she was in a significant amount of pain. By all accounts you're a wonderful husband -- but being 99% blind some things are insurmountable: For example, 2 prescriptions, Which is which?
When you called your mother to ask if she had any rubber bands, Gran-Gran was, "What? Why?" Then, a light bulb moment. You put a rubber band around the pain bottle so as not to mix it up with the antibiotic.
Now I'm thinking that's a great idea for anyone who doesn't have their eyeglasses at the ready ... or, who needs to take a pill in the middle of the night without turning on the lights.
Dear Amazon Prime -
Our UPS driver probably appreciates not having to stop here so often!
Dearest lady who lives in my old house,
I was so excited to see your e-mail! I'm not ashamed to say my eyes began to fill with salt water.
You wrote,
"Hi Myra! My name is xxxxxx and I live in the Arlington house! We bought it in 1998 and I'll be glad to send you some pictures."
Then, "I understand your attachment to things of the past; I'm right there with you!"
A few days later, another e-mail:
"Hi Myra! Oh my goodness, how fun to see the pictures you sent! I can't wait to show them to my family! I'm so glad you reached out and took a shot on this!"
Isn't hers the most generous spirit?
Here are a few:
'The Way we Were v. The Summer of 2021'
I love the way it looks! So different, all prettied up.
'Wondered if I might get emotional, but that didn't happen.
(Whew!)
Thank y'all for encouraging me to write that letter!
Hugs, Myra
