Letter: Lima has an angel

I’m always hearing all the negative things about Lima. It’s not a perfect city but what city is? I have lived here all my life and have many friends and family here. There are great business’ here and the smaller ones are very friendly in my opinion.

Sure Lima has it’s problems, but it also has some other great attributes. One of those is a very beautiful blonde young lady wearing sun glasses. I was putting bags in my van at Save-A-Lot on Bellefontaine Avenue and out of nowhere this angel appeared. When she spoke it startled me. The help she provided next was unbelievable. I was so shocked and surprised that I didn’t even see her walk away. I had tears in my eyes all the way home. I only wish I had gotten her name so I could tell her how much I appreciated what she did.

There is no way she could have known that my wife and I have been in and out of the hospital the last few months. My wife had just gotten out the day before this. Say what you will about Lima but I feel blessed to live here. And yes, angels do exist and Lima has a beautiful blonde one wearing sun glasses.

Thank you ma’am and I will pay this forward from my heart. I have a pair of sun glasses … now if I only looked like an angel.
