Yesterday, Baby Gurl called her dad crying because she had left her wallet on the bus. We were all upset, and she asked if she would get it back. Not wanting to upset her more, I told her it was very unlikely.
Later, when we got home, a young man was knocking on the door and causing a bit of a stir with the kids. I asked if I could help him. He said he was looking for AK. I asked who he was, and he explained that he had found her wallet on the bus and wanted to return it. He said everything was still inside, even the money. He mentioned that it happened to him a few weeks ago and knew how bad it felt.
I felt moved by his kindness, so I took some money out of my pocket and gave it to him. We talked for a bit, and he really touched my heart, so I reached into the wallet and gave him the $20 that was inside.
It turns out the young man, Baxter, is 19, goes to school in New York, and is the son of one of my co-workers! It’s a small world. His gesture has restored my faith in people and doused my cynicism. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Perkins should be proud of him. He’s now an honorary member of our family.!!
