The Kindness of Strangers


Let me start by saying we have these really cool 2 inch long pelican flashlights. They are super convinient when we walk the dogs when it is dark. For such a small flashlight they give off great light.

About a week and a half ago I had taken the girls out for they morning walk. We had not got as far as half a block when I realized the flashlight was no longer in my hand. We retraced our steps and nothing. I finished up their walk brought them home and went back out to attempt my search but again found nothing. Cesario got home and I told him what happened and I was so bummed. Keep in mind we had two and we still have one left but the OCD part of me was like we have to have two. I went to my trusty resource, EBAY!! I searched the light and found the one that was the most inexpensive and purchased it. The transaction went fine and received my package a few days ago. I opened it to find not only one but two flashlights and a note inside. I had received my receipt of payment and was asked if we were military. Our package had already gone out when I replied to the email.

It is truly amazing the generosity of strangers. I know some will say it was just a flashlight but to me it was the nicest gesture considering I loved the flashlight. Thank you Mike and Denise!!!
