Kindness brightens a dark day for Sharon

SooToday received the following letter of thank you to a kind stranger from a loyal reader, Sharon, who was having a bit of a difficult time.

My children and I were in line at the Tim Horton’s drive thru on Trunk Road Wednesday morning.  

I placed an order for all three of us and pulled up to pay.  

It had already been a hectic morning getting everyone out the door for various day camps and work.   

This week I had also passed the one year mark of losing my mom. 

I live approximately 1200 miles away from my family so being away from family had been very heavy on my heart. 

As I pulled up to the window I was informed by the cashier that my order had been paid in full.   

My daughter believes she was able to remember that it was a Black Ford pickup – but not 100% sure of that piece.  

I just want to express my appreciation to this person – whoever and wherever you are.  

Please know how much I appreciate what you have done.  

It really brought a ray of light into my heart.

The welcome sign close to the Civic Centre states “Sault Ste Marie Algoma’s Friendliest City”.  

I believe that this random act of kindness proves how true this is.

Again, many thanks from not only me, but from my 8-year-old and 14-year-old.

Whoever you are – have a wonderful day.

From the family in the Grey Toyota Highlander.
