Up until three days before my benefit shin-dig, I finally met a woman who has done so much for my family in the past few weeks. What’s special is that she lent a hand without ever meeting me.
This perfect stranger, or shall I say angel, heard about my story via some friends working the high dining cir cut at the Stampede. From there, she made contact with us via my next door neighbour (Six Degrees of Separation - who also knows my perfect stranger and who is also an amazing soul.)
She met Tony first and jumped into helping us with whatever we needed. Tony would go visit with her and her hubby and every time Tony left to meet with her, he’d come back with the best healing gifts - the mother Buddha statue, a mini indoor waterfall and wine galore. And those of you who know me well know that wine is my WEAKNESS!
Anyhoo, not only did this perfect stranger give of gifts, but she gave me something more important - hope and a renewed belief that there are so many amazing people out there in the world who are willing to help with huge sacrifice.
My perfect stranger gave so much of her time, her energy, her heart. And she did all of this without ever even meeting me. The day I finally shook her hand, I looked at her and felt I had known her a long, long time.
I look for to having her, and her husband, in my life.
A toast to my perfect stranger.
PS: And yes, I love ALL of you…and appreciate everything you do for me…I just wanted to send a special shout out to a really amazing soul who has gone above and beyond.
