Random Acts of Kindness

Well, yesterday I realized that there are wonderful people in this world. I was on the phone with my mom and I heard the doorbell ring. I walked out to the door and found the typical boxes that arrive around the holiday season. As I opened the first box, I found wrapped packages. I looked at the card and saw the girls name on it and it said, "Love Santa". I was baffeled at first. I was thinking who in the world sent this?! Then I decided to look at the packing slip and I saw the name on it. I burst into tears and felt good all at the same time. The packages for my girls came from a friend of Joel's. Joel went through the officer Advance course with him and I met him once or twice, the last time being at Joel's funeral at ANC. The fact that this man took the time to think of my girls and send them present from essentially a perfect stranger to them. I am so greatful to this man and what he has done for my girls. I don't think he knows how happy he is going to make them and what he has done for them and me.
