Old Folks

This will warm your heart. Just when you have lost faith in human
kindness. Someone who teaches at a middle school in Safety Harbor,
Florida, 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 door
prize and was writing to say thank you.

Dear Safety Harbor Middle 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 Safety Harbor
Assisted Home for the Aged. All of my family has passed away. I am
all alone now and it's nice to know that someone is thinking of me.
God bless you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady. My
roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio, but before I received
one, 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, and I told her to kiss my ass.

Thank you for that opportunity.
