... not the money, but the anonymity. Carol's gone through life thinking it could be anyone... maybe that's why she's so nice to everyone.

I knew that someone was so impressed with her when he saw her at that party that he gave her the money to go to New York for a writing job at a radio show or maybe a T.V. show and I knew he wanted to remain unknown and for her to pay it forward.

What a great post! Thank you..
