Cassandra
Warren, a babysitter, was in a rush and feeling a little overcome with work and
planning her 200person wedding. As she was extending invitations for her
wedding in the mail one day last year, she hurriedly addressed one to her aunt
and uncle in Oregon.
A
week later, the invitation came back, with a handwritten note on the return
envelope: "I wish I knew you.
Congratulations! I've been married for 40 years—it gets better with age."
A $20 bill was inside.
Cassandra
was at a professional crossroads and had been having a tough day. In fact, she
nearly broke down, telling her husband-to-be, Jesse Jones, about her depression
just as she opened the misdirected envelope. And the magic envelope wasn't
finished with its surprises. Cassandra looked closer and saw that on the
envelope were "Live long and prosper", a nod to the spacebased film Star Trek (《星际迷航》).
Cassandra
and Jesse had no idea who the anonymous note writer was. But they
figured the Star Trek reference was because the person noticed the "fandom"
corner of their invitation, which had both a Star Wars lightsaber (光剑) and a Harry Potter wand (魔杖).
"She assumed we'd understand her message," Cassandra said. "Which
we did."
The
following night Cassandra and Jesse went out to dinner with a friend who was
going overseas with the military. They happily put the $ 20 toward their bill.
Then Cassandra stopped by a store and bought another card—a thankyou card. She
wrote her aunt and uncle's incorrect address on the envelope again to "Kind
Stranger". Inside, she wrote, "Thank you for the note and taking the
time to send it. Not many people would have done that. It was a big blessing
after the day I was having. I am thankful for people like you still being in
the world."
