“I ENJOY MY CONNECTION WITH MY NEW FRIENDS!”
Moving to a new apartment alone during
the pandemic was challenging. Recently, I noticed three young adults struggling to secure a Ping-pong table in their truck. I offered my ratchet straps and helped them make the load secure for transport. That night, they returned the straps, including a $ 20 bill and a thank-you note. Kindness came full circle! I gave the money to my 85-year-old father because he raised me to be helpful. I made lemon bread for the youngsters, and now when Daddy visits, we wave to them. I enjoy my connection with new friends in life! — Connie L. Gunkel, Hillsboro, OR
