GOAL: Fill my feed with happy stories during the peak of the pandemic
Something good that happened last week: Grandparents who hadn’t hugged their grandkids since March of 2020 shared a loving embrace, thanks to a bright idea to use inflatable polar bear costumes. 1/11/2021
A good thing that happened in 2020:
A retired Kansas farmer with a wife who has one lung, that isn’t 100%, and diabetes sent New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo a spare N95 mask, along with a letter asking him to pass it along to a doctor or nurse working to contain the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.
During his daily coronavirus briefing in Albany, Cuomo read the letter he received from Dennis — a farmer who found a spare mask and felt compelled to send it to a health care worker. Cuomo called the gesture a “snapshot of humanity.”
The letter read: “Enclosed, find a solitary N95 mask, left over from my farming days. It has never been used. If you could, would you please give this mask to a nurse or doctor in your state? I have kept four masks for my immediate family,” Dennis wrote.
Cuomo said he was touched by the letter, calling Dennis’ action “selfless.”
