(from later that other night):
we (k, j and i) spent all day running around like head-less chickens, surrounded by food for the rainbow family and ate very little. as i was sitting inside walmart, right by the exit with our shopping cart, waiting for the guys to grab the coffee they forgot to get, a young dark- skinned momma handed me three bucks “here, just take it, i wish i could help more”. i could only smile and thank her as much as i could. five minutes later, while the guys were on line, she walked towards me again, straight from the atm and slipped me a twenty. i hugged her and thanked her endlessly.
she took care of us after we spent the entire day buying, carrying and sorting through a week’s worth of food for the rainbow family. now we can kick back, hug and enjoy the two pies of pizza that that kind woman gave us.
(the change went towards tipping a random delivery woman we bumped into at the pizza shop. have fun and spread the love darlings!)
