Joy Comes in the Morning

After my last post about the fatal dog attack that my friend "Amy" and family endured, my first payment for the roof $5k loan was due.  I had that set up for an automatic debit, $162 per month for three years.  Except, the day before, I received a mysterious email from my bank indicating that the loan was all but paid off by "Margaret McNary as Anonymous".  I called the bank seeking an explanation.

The bank rep asked me if I had sent a "big check".  No ma'am.  I don't have that kind of money.  There has to be a mistake somewhere.  She left for a minute or two, then returned to tell me that the loan had been paid off by an anonymous someone...a gift.  Wait.  A gift?  A gift is a $20 sweater or a box of candy...not a $5,000+ donation!  I blubbered for a bit, asking the gal to check over and over to make sure it wasn't a mistake.  The only thing she would tell me that the donation didn't come from my daughter who is also on my bank account.  So who??

I'm still stunned.  This doesn't make me rich, but it sure does relieve me of a three-year financial burden.  I hope, in time, to know who did this for me.  But it sure does reinforce my feelings about my fellow man.  Someone out there loves me.  Just wish I knew who it is!!
