It's nice to know that this crisis is
bringing out the good in people.
I give you two examples, the first
being one of the windows at the station, usually filled with posters
for upcoming events. Now (because there aren't any events upcoming
for the foreseeable future) it looks like this--
I had mentioned to my brother that if
his kids wanted to put together a few hearts (as part of the “Hearts
for Hope” project) that I'd throw them in the empty window. Well,
they put together more than a few, which means that our windows are
now good to go. They even threw in one with a special message--
Their “Auntie” Courtney is a nurse
in South Carolina, and, if I had to guess, the message isn't just for
her but for everyone who's on the front lines of this battle.
So thanks, Abel & Calum (&
Tiffanie, too)!
Secondly, I received a piece of mail
from a listener yesterday. This person had won one of our contests
recently, and was sending me back the prize they were given. Why,
you ask? Well, I answer, because they wanted me to donate it to a
local food bank. They didn't necessarily need it, but they were sure
that someone would, so they wanted to make sure that that someone
would put it to good use.
I was stunned when I opened the
envelope and read the note. Sure, it was “stunned” in a good
way, but stunned nonetheless.
So thanks, Briton from Gladstone. You
have once again proven that the best people on the planet live right
here in the U.P.!
