Jan 2012 - Here is a wonderful letter we received from Kathy in New Zealand.
Random Acts of Kindness just don't get any better than this!
' Twelve years ago my Mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and one of her friends gave her an Angel to put on her bedside cabinet while she went through treatment..
8 years ago I was diagnosed with a tumour on the Prolactin Gland which is situated up in the old nut
My mother gave me the angel to sit on my bedside table to keep watch over me. Two years ago I was told I was clear, but at the same time was diagnosed Type 1 diabetic.
Today: I handed on the angel to my daughter to give to one of her work place friends who has just been diagnosed with breast cancer and is soon to start treatment.
I will miss my angel, but I felt her time with me had ended and it was time to watch over someone new. I had planned on sending her to America 4 years ago to watch over one of my friends there who was battling breast cancer, but I never got it done. My daughter told the lady she gave it to of its history and she has told my daughter she too will pay her forward when the time comes to let her give comfort to someone else.
Don't feel it is important enough to be one of your Random Acts of Kindness, but after I did it I remembered your 'Angel' Horse, and wondered if it was she who prompted me at this time to pay the angel forward :) In the years between my getting the Angel, I have been diagnosed and survived a shadow on the lung, ( I am not a smoker), a growth in my colon, successfully removed, shingles, have finished treatment for my Prolactinoma growth, and am in control of my Type 1 diabetes. (lol meant overcoming a morbid fear of needles) .
I would however like to donate to you the cost of a set of beads for a horse and carer that might otherwise be unable to have them. :) Please let me know when you have contact with someone who can not afford to give their equine friend that gift and it will be our gift to them.'
With love,
Kathy and Kody
