A Blanket
By a friend • May 16, 2024
I was nine years old, waiting for the school bus in Wisconsin winter.
I had a thin coat, no hat or gloves.
A woman driving past saw me and stopped, giving me a blanket from the back of her car. It was a long skinny one, so she wrapped it around my head and shoulders like a big scarf.
I remember thanking her, but being confused.
I told her I didn't know how I would give it back when I was done borrowing it.
She hugged me and said not to worry.
I still have that blanket.
