Now, this is the amazing part. I couldn't believe it. Firstly my son wanted a technics Lego set that was $260 (way out of my league). It was a specific set. Just before the end of school I got a call from the the school office to say I'd won the raffle. I bought the ticket at a fair earlier and hadn't seen the prize. it was the exact set he wanted. I got a xmas card with no return address. Inside the card said 'To John from Aunty Beryl.' No surname and a $50 note. After searching the neighbourhood for John it was 'Thank You' Auntie Beryl. The one that really got me though was a letter from the bank. It went my parents house and was a statement from account I'd had as a teenager. I'd fallen madly in love :-) with a South African boy out here on holiday. We'd opened an account jointly and severally so we could both put money in for a summer holiday for me to visit him. A couple of months after he left I fell madly in love someone else. I'd ditched the bank book not checking the balance and thinking I couldn't access it anyway. It had $860.00 in it. I took the statement to the bank and told the teller the story. She checked with the manager and they agreed that if I could sign my name the same as my signature in the book they'd release the money.
The point is that the only thing I changed were my feelings about the situation and the magic happened
