A Senior Moment

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. This story is a credit to all human
kind.

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 told her to kiss my ass.
Thank you for that opportunity.

Oh, I hope that I am that feisty when I get old.
