The Kindness of Strangers.
Yesterday I was making an overnight shipment of books to a friend who was just diagnosed with breast cancer. The gal behind the counter at the post office was wearing a bejeweled breast cancer support pin. I told her I was a survivor also and was sending the books to a friend.
Today my friend received the books and thanked me for the PIN as well!! But I had not sent one. It had a note attached saying it has worked miracles. The gal at the post office had sent HER pin in the package!!!! Isn't that amazing????
