Ya’ll are beautiful people and I love this community. Sorry for the clickbait title.
EDIT: “bonus kid” is a term we use to refer to a kid that spends a lot of time at our house usually to escape their home life. Think Harry Potter and the Weasleys.
Yesterday was my bonus kid’s 18th birthday. She recently joined one of our D&D campaigns and didn’t have her own dice. My wife took her to the game store to pick out some dice for her birthday and for whatever reason they didn’t have much selection.
Two older gentlemen saw them and called them over. After talking for a bit it came out that she was picking out her first set of dice. One of the guys pulled out his bag and told her he’d give her a set of dice. As they chatted more the fact that it was her 18th birthday came up and one of the guys asked what her plans were, she replied that she wasn’t going to do much, just hang out at my house and watch Supernatural. That was not acceptable to him and he pulled out his wallet and handed over a $100 dollar bill with the instruction that she get a nice birthday dinner. After more than an hour of chatting my bonus kid went home with three sets of dice, a mat and an 18th birthday dinner, my other kids each had a new set of dice and a mat and my DM oldest child also was given a flash drive with digital copies of some D&D books from the 80’s that aren’t accessible anymore.
Most of all you made some people feel very special, especially a birthday kid who’s had a hard life. She legitimately didn’t know what to do with this abundance of kindness, she has trauma in her past and has been overcoming some pretty big obstacles and I just wanted to say thank you for showing her that there are good people in the world.
