I have a lovely, kind story to tell and to thank a complete stranger.
My mum works in a jewlrey shop and a lady came in to buy some pearls for her daughter who had just had her first baby, by all accounts a successful barrister who has suffered with Arthritis since she was 18 months old. Since her baby, she has been suffering badly again. My mum told her about Annie and her awful year with Arthur. This lady then paid for her pearls and went only to come back shortly with a box of thermals - a top and leggings in black. She said to my mum that her daughter always needed to be kept warm and when she hears of someone with Arthur she always buys them thermals. I wish I could let this lovely and thoughtful lady know that Annie is so delighted with the thermals and has been wearing them every day and how a strangers generosity has touched my heart because she just "gets it".
So Christmas elves do exists and you never know someone on here may even be or know this lady.....

    That is just so heartwarming to read. There are some people out there that do understand. What a lovely person that lady was. She probably got as much joy buying them as she knew they would help as your daughter has wearing them.

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    oh thats lovely!!! It is so hard to find people who understand. I mean even schoold so not seem to grasp the concept of these children looking perfectly normal from the outside and yet struggle so much!!!

    Only those that have experience can understand. It's always been so. It is a heartwarming story, tho. There are still some lovely, lovely people in this horrid world of ours. DD
