Dear Helen

  Dear Helen.

  I'm the person you met in Jarred this past Saturday, the person you gave your discount coupon to when you didn't use it.   I just wanted to let you know that we used it to purchase a pair of emerald earrings thanks to your thoughtfulness.  They were an early birthday present for me from my husband, Edward.  I've always wanted a pair of emeralds.

  I wanted to let you know that you made my day.  Your gift to me, a total stranger, will also make the rest of my month.  And when my birthday actually comes, I'll remember your kindness with a smile.  It'll be the best 50th birthday present ever.  

  Thank you.
