Wind, Walgreens and a Wayfaring Stranger
Honest, caring people in the world still exist! I received a lost check in the mail today with a note: "Cara, I found this in the parking lot of Walgreens in Lake Mary."I remember losing it vividly. It was the windiest day I can ever remember and I was trying to run to Walgreens before a doctor appointment. Nothing is that simple with a baby. Between the wind, baby, stroller, purse, diaper bag and Walgreens bag, I was a wreck. I forgot the purse was in the bottom of the stroller so when I went to collapse it, everything fell out of my purse and started flying around the parking lot.
I had three checks and two deposit slips along with everything else flying under cars and in the air. I had the baby in the car so I collected what I could as fast as I could. I knew I didn't get it all, but I had no choice but to leave it since I had the baby in the car.
Thankfully, I got all the checks but this one, which was a rebate check for a cell phone we bought, and just thought it was gone forever. Then a generous stranger took the time to mail it to me with a note!
