Yesterday morning, my doorbell rings, it’s a private delivery service with all these bags. I signed for the delivery and asked who sent it. The gentleman winked at me and said: I’m supposed to tell you the Easter Bunny!”

I received cat food (two bags of dry cat food) which I desperately needed. I was so happy, but in the other bags there were items that puzzled me. Soap, shampoo, paper plates… I quickly opened the door and ran out to my driveway. Thankfully, the driver was still here. I asked him if those items that he gave me were mine?  Yes he said it was all on the order. He said that he was told to give it to the lady who rescues cats. Then he drove away.

Around noon my doorbell rings again. There’s a second delivery, this time it’s food. Not cat food though, a full. Easter dinner (as if I was entertaining six people) Including dessert. So I am now staring at a half of sliced ham, along with 2 buckets: one containing homemade mashed potatoes, the other homemade gravy, smaller buckets of raw broccoli and sliced cooked apples. when I inquired who sent it, again I was told “the Easter Bunny.”

Today, I just finished making multiple batches of broccoli, cheese, and ham pasta casserole. I also made several different kinds of pasta salads and put them in the canning jars and into the freezer. I had a full ham dinner last night which I shared with my wonderful animals. They were surprised to see the ham on their plate as I was.

Even being a writer, I don’t think that I could adequately  express what that meant to me to receive such kindness especially right now.. I quite simply was blown away.
