A short while ago I wrote a post about a stranger that I welcomed to stay with me when she had nowhere else to stay and found herself in some trying times. This stranger turned out to be an amazing person. She has since left us to pursue her dreams wherever they lead her, and for now they have led her to Portland, Oregon. I received a letter from her today which I’d like to share with you.

It’s not everyday that I get to feel how I felt today reading this letter.  It’s not everyday that I get to feel and know that an action I took to help someone would inadvertently help another person just a few months later in the same way. I can only hope that this Israeli adventurer soon finds herself in a situation where she can repay the gesture to someone else.  Pay it forward. We miss you JoMarie.
