OT: Heart Warming Story

Post by Blaine »

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 luncheon as a door prize and was writing to say thank you. This story is a credit to all humankind.

Forward to anyone you know who might need a lift today.

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 butt.

Thank you for that opportunity.

:lol:

Payback is always worth the wait.

:lol:
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

This story just made me chuckle. I hope it's true.

You see, I've had the opportunity to really know one little old lady, and sorta know another one.

The first is my Grandmother. She had a wicked ornery sense of humor. One day way back in the early 1980s my mother, grandmother and me were cruising around town hitting all the second hand shops. A regular little family tradition.
While I was looking at one thing I noticed my grandmother looking at some magazines. As she looked through it I noticed she was giggling. Now at this time she was around 75ish years old. After she put the magazine down and left the isle I went to see what had struck her as being so funny. Well..... she had been looking a the center fold in a Playboy magazine.

The second is my M.I.L.. When she came home to visit family last year my wife and I drove to IN to see her. You see she's in her 90's and kind of frail.
When we greeted, we hugged and I asked her how she was doing. With a wicked gleam in her eye she said: "Anybody I can."

So I know how ornery little old ladies can be.

God love 'em.

Joe
