these things happen too

I saw in the paper today that there's a woman in California who basically takes responsibility for babies born and abandoned. The coroner calls her, and she comes into that room and prays and talks to the baby and gives him or her a name and wraps them in a homemade quilt and gives them a burial. She's very religious and gets by on a relative shoestring. In her other free time, she talks to people, trying to make them aware of the laws that say they can bring the child to a hospital and not face charges, feeling that if they only knew, they wouldn't leave these infants to their death. She just wants them to know.
Anyway, she won the lottery. Of course, she'll use most of the money to keep doing her work for her "angels." She feels that maybe they did this for her, and she's happy to think of them playing in Heaven. You know, usually I don't care who wins the lottery. She says this is only the third time she and her husband bought a ticket.
Nice world sometimes. Good things can even happen to good people.
