Dear Editor:
On my way home from work on Friday, Sept. 11 I stopped to buy a few necessities at Walmart.
I joined the express queue and noticed the lady immediately in front of me was purchasing a suitcase, which made me wonder where she was travelling to.
She paid for her purchases and moved aside. My purchases were then scanned and as I inserted my credit card into the machine, a voice from behind me said, “I’ll get that.”
I turned around and the woman with the suitcase, whom I now refer to as an angel disguised as an attractive young woman, handed the cashier cash for my purchases. I was absolutely dumb founded, and once I had picked my jaw up off the floor, all I could do was stutter “Thank you, bless you, thank you!”
The smiling cashier gently told me to remove my card and this angel in disguise, this complete stranger, paid for my groceries.
I will never forget your kindness to an older woman, and I hope that one day I will be able to pay this generosity forward.
