TRUE SENTIMENTS

This letter was sent to the principal's office of a middle school 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 wrote this thank-you note:

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 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 night stand 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 said, “Kiss my ___.”

Thank you for that opportunity.

Sincerely, Edna Walters

(And you thought this was going to be another one of those heartwarming stories. . . .)
