Speakout
(Opinion ~ 03/15/23)
This happened at Walmart. Last night I met my angel. I want to say thank you to her. I don’t even know her name. She was behind me in line and my insurance was not wanting to pay for my medicine. It was a very important sleeping pill. I had been up for four days. The pharmacist who was oh-so-kind to me told me that she should give me a little amount for $4. Well, I said great. I would take it but I had to go back out to the card to find $4. The pharmacist understood. The angel, my angel, swooped in and paid for the entire prescription, and I have to say this and I want to say this: Thank you. Thank you. Thank yo. I have finally slept. I feel so much better. I truly do. And it is all because of my angel. Thank you to my angel. So please pass it on and be kind to everyone you see. This was at Walmart and you should aways be kind to everyone in line.
