The Story of the Rainbow Mittens

12/31/2008

Like I promised the story of the rainbow mittens.



My mom and dad got me these mittens for Christmas. With a matching hat. Anything rainbow goes over very well with me. But these mittens are special and the story is very simple.

About a month or two ago when the weather got really cold here and winter officially started I was walking to work. I work and live downtown so seeing panhandlers and people looking for spare change is not uncommon. I give spare change if I have it handy. Well it was very cold. Cold enough to require gloves. I was wearing my beloved Old Navy rainbow gloves. You can see where this is going perhaps. It was -30 and I noticed a lone man sitting on the ground looking for change. He wasn't wearing anything that was suitable for the weather. His hands looked very cold. I didn't have any change when I passed. He asked, "Spare change miss?" I told him I didn't have any but I offered him my gloves. He took them and smiled and put them on. I told him to have a nice day and headed to work. I could stand my hands being cold for a two blocks. I don't know how long his hands had been cold.

I didn't mention it to anyone really. I told John after he asked where my gloves were after work. I then mentioned it on Weddingbells. My mom found out through weddingbells. She decided she needed to find me new ones and that she and my father had done a good job raising me.

So that is the story of my rainbow mittens.

You are such a good person, I am sure that man will treasure those gloves as well and remember the kind woman who gave them to him.

They are very cool rainbow gloves!!!

that is soo sweet!!! I'm glad there are nice people in the world. When we were catching the bus to the airport in Los Angeles I gave all my leftover american money to a man and his dog who were huddled next a tree, and Laura thought I was crazy for "wasting it". it really annoyed me.
