Dear Man Who Flipped Me Off This Morning at the Corner of Putnam and Whitney Avenues:
Thank you for starting off my day on a positive and cheerful note. Your hand gesture brought happiness to my heart and fond memories of childhood in Vermont, spending time with loved ones. You are clearly a loving, giving, and caring person, and it’s my hope that your progeny will grow up to be just like you. I wish the world were filled with compassionate people; and indeed, as I enter the classroom every day, I hope to form my 120 students into model citizens such as yourself. On so many days, my morning is filled with self-doubt and negativity; your action this morning was refreshingly upbeat, and, I would argue, life-changing. I’d like to return the favor. Please let me know when it would best suit your schedule.
Sincerely,
Gina Coggio
