I don't normally forward these things but this one touched me. Sort of bought tears to my eyes... reminded me a little of my grandmother.

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. This

story is a credit to all human kind. Forward to anyone you know who

might need a lift today!



Dear Safety Harbor Middle School:



God bless you for the beautiful radio 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 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.



Sincerely, Edna Walters
