Letter: Happy ending to lost documents
I lost my identification and credit cards at an outdoor concert recently and didn't realize it until I got home and checked my answering machine. The man's message said he had found them in the grass and told me not to worry, they were safe. I was shaken by what I had lost, and at the same time felt comforted in his words that I didn't have to worry he would get them to me. I called back the number he gave me and he asked if I would want the cards delivered to my home that same night, and I said yes.
I didn't want to wake my husband and have him worry him about what occurred.
When Ken arrived and handed me the packet with all my identification, I couldn't thank him enough. He said it was his brother Rich that found it. When I offered to give him something, he wouldn't take it. He said it was the right thing to do to return it.
I am a senior citizen and have always said a prayer to St. Anthony when I misplace or forget things. This time I didn't even know something so important was lost until I got that call.
God bless Rich and Ken, two very kind, honest and wonderful brothers for saving me from the nightmares and worries had my information fallen into the wrong hands.
In these times it's a good feeling to be reminded most people would do the right thing.
Thanks again, Rich and Ken
