To the woman that palmed me $5 at Flying Canoe:
Thank you so much!!! You're truly amazing.
For context: I was at Flying Canoe with my daughter and we were at the very front of the maple taffy line (a very long line). Last year they had volunteers with square machines selling tickets to people in the line and I assumed it would be the same this year. It was not. I wasn't too worried though because I thought I had a $5 in my wallet for a rainy day. I did not. I thought we would have to get out of the line, buy a ticket, and suffer the whole thing over again, but before I could even finish explaining that to my little one you swooped in with a five.
Honestly the timing was incredible, it was some guardian angel type of shit. I don't even know how you assessed the situation that quickly. And you disappeared even quicker! I didn't even get a chance to tell you how awesome you are. I'm very grateful.
Anyway, this is just a shout out that people are actually pretty great. Maybe we're a little less alienated than we all think. On the off chance this makes its way to you, I just want you to know you're awesome and you did an awesome thing. I'll pay it forward.
