Many years ago, when my then-teenaged sister had her first job, she was super-excited to go Christmas shopping with her own money for the first time. I took her to the mall and when we got inside she realized with horror that she had left her wallet sitting on top of my car. We raced back out but it was gone, of course. She was devastated, but tearfully refused my offer of loan. The next day I took fifteen $20 bills, put them in a card, had a co-worker sign it from Secret Santa (she would recognise my handwriting), and mail it from his own town so that she wouldn't see a familiar postmark. She was astonished when it arrived, and accused me of the deed...which I vehemently denied. That was an awesome, magical Christmas and after 40 years she still doesn't know...and she never will!
"My step dad died in January. June 23rd would have been their 20th wedding anniversary. She has been so down since his passing. Also knowing the things he did to “prep” before he became bed bound. (Taking her car and having it serviced and brand new tires, filling the cabinet with the hard to find sort of expensive dog treats, etc).
I had a big BIG floral arrangement sent to her on their anniversary day. Signing the card “I’m always with you.” And threatened the floral shop with life and limb to NOT tell who came in and paid for it. She was so happy.. she thinks he thought of if and really it was me. I’ll never tell."
