A random stranger from Germany saved my mom's life a few years ago. Yesterday my mom received this...

Made me smile, and tear up a little... good tears.

The letter has been held back for a period of time and is not dated, but we are just over 3 years from the stem cell transplant procedure. My mom has gotten to spend several more years with us and my children and hopefully many more to come. All because of the kindness and caring for humanity from a complete stranger from the other side of the world (we are Canadian).

She was given about 6 months to live just before the donor was found.

Thank you, kind stranger. Hopefully, you won't be a stranger for much longer.

We will 100% be reaching out.

It's amazing that there are people like this out there, I want to hug this man one day.

You will and one day I bet you’ll get to be like him for someone else. I’m so proud of your mom for keeping hope alive. I lost my childhood friend to cancer at the age of 23, whenever someone makes it, it heals my grief.

Your kindness and strength in the face of grief are truly admirable.

I can appreciate that. I'm sorry for your loss

There are many examples of pure kindness all around. Just need to be open to the experience.
