The world spins in concentric circles. Swirling and orbiting through time.
Sometimes it’s hard to hold on to your name, never mind yourself.
Sometimes it’s so close you can see the grain of sand nestled between your toes.
But the things that keep you going, through the rains, weird ass tornadoes and disappointment are your friends.
Andre, thank you for this
You, thank you for all.of.this.
And then, the daughter of my Gladys, wrote me a letter. I’ve had a few before but today, I needed it. Thank you, M******.
Dear Cathy
I am writing you this letter with no fancy punctuation marks because this is an honest letter.
You are an inspiration to me to do good to other people who are in need.
By the offering you’ve been giving us, you have created people who were nobody to be somebody, by the loaf of bread that you give my mom every day you have saved so many lives. Your clothes have protected us from the cold weather. The salary that you give my mom has paid for our school fees.
I’m very proud to tell you that because of you I am now working, and my sister is working.
Thank you for allowing my mom into your home and trusting her with your family. You have become a member of our family by all the good things you’re doing for us. We may not be able to show you how grateful you are, but I thank God for introducing you to our lives. Our lives have changed completely and you are the highest blessing from God. I may not pay everything back but I will make it my duty to help another person in need. I will pay it forward. May God Bless you and protect you and your family because in this world we live in, we really need people like you.
Love
M*****
My. Heart. How do I ever respond?
