A touching story that warms the heart!‏
« on: June 14, 2008, 06:56:04 AM »
Just when you have lost faith in human kindness..........

 

Someone who teaches at a middle school in Murray Harbour, PEI, Canada. 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 luncheon  as a door prize and was writing to say thank you.  This story is a credit to all humankind. Forward to anyone you know  who might need a lift today.

Dear Staff and students at Murray Harbour 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 Murray Harbor Assisted Home for the
Aged. All of my family has passed away. I am all alone and I want to
thank you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady.
My roommate is 95 and has 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 nightstand 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 f*ck off.


Thank you for that opportunity.

Sincerely,

Edna

Who says that seniors can't have a cutting sense of humour?

LOL!!!  I think that was MY grandma!   :D

My grandma and her friend were sitting at the kitchen table talking.  I must have been 6 or 7 years old and I was playing in the next room.  Like most kids I was half heartedly ease dropping.  Her friend was complaining about her teeth hurting and my grandma mumbles, "That's what you get for having teeth #$%*!  Quit complaining."  :o  I ran into the kitchen and said, "Grandma, you don't have any teeth?!"  They were laughing so hard that I got tired of waiting for and answer and went back to playing.
