Holy shit.
I was just sitting on the sofa, considering what to do about dinner, when some guy whose face I didn’t see came up my steps and put something in my mailbox. He had a blue heeler waiting at the water bowl. By the time I got up and opened the door, they were gone. And this was in the box. 1/
Inside was this card. 2/

And the inside of the card…

Unsigned. No idea who it was, but I have been weeping since I read it.

This person has no idea who I am but he gave me so much support in my craziness with the signs, etc.
This is the second time I have received anonymous thanks. I am so very touched.

I know I said “end” before, but I want to add that this is why I am fighting to keep the house, to assume the mortgage, even though it means I will likely work until I die.
These are my people. This is my heart home.

I'm British & can only watch in horror from across the ocean.
I follow @NorcalGma2 who is striving in the US. I shared your posts with her in the spirit of encouragement: one never knows whom one may empower

One more thing…my breakup last summer was awful. Part of it was related to me being who I am, in this way. I have been told my whole life to turn it down, be less, not to make things harder…but I just cannot not stand up. So, to be not only seen but also appreciated for being, well, me…there are not enough words.

@LeslieBurns This is an amazing and heartwarming story that shows the value of you remaining you. I remember your breakup, and if I didn't say something kind, I hope I at least sent an internet hug. I had a terrible breakup of a poison relationship where he actually succeeded in breaking me down into a cowering mouse; I am delighted that you were able to remain yourself despite everything. You are an inspiration, and not just because of your fabulous hair.
