Journaling:
I may have met an angel in real life. Many years ago we were on welfare and food stamps for a short period of time. When I went to the store one day the EBT card didn’t work and we had NO food in the house. Melissa was 5 and started to cry saying “What are we going to have for dinner then Mommy?” and I started to put the items back with a lump in my throat. The checker said “No”, grabbed a card and ran it through the machine and paid for our dinner. I tearfully thanked her and said I would bring the money tomorrow to repay her. She said no but I insisted. When I got there the next day I asked for Anna. The manager looked puzzled and said “We don’t have an Anna working here. maybe she was just filling in for someone.” In that moment I felt I had been touched by a real angel with human hands. I have never forgotten that connection and when I can, I am an Anna angel to someone else in her honor.
