ON MY WAY TO WORK, I FOUND AN ELDERLY WOMAN FROZEN IN A SNOWDRIFT – SHE HAD A NOTE FOR ME
It was a freezing January morning when I spotted something slumped near the edge of my driveway. At first, I thought it was trash, but as I got closer, I realized it was an elderly woman. Her lips were blue, her coat way too thin for the weather, and she looked barely alive.
"Ma'am, can you hear me?" I asked, panicking as I reached for my phone.
Her eyes fluttered open, and in a faint whisper, she said, "No… don't… note for you."
"Note?" I asked, confused. She weakly pointed to her coat pocket.
I hesitated but reached in and pulled out a small, weathered envelope. My name, Amy, was scrawled on it in shaky handwriting. My heart raced. How did this stranger know my name?
I opened the note with trembling hands.
