DEAR SUN SPOTS: Quiet Cries Pajama Drive was a huge success. The PJ collections final total was 433 pairs. Thanks to the generous cash donations, we will surpass our goal of 500 pairs. Dom and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful and loving family, friends, and Facebook followers. Thanks to everyone’s generosity, hundreds of children woke up on Easter morning snuggled in a new warm pair of pajamas.

Our hearts are filled with compassion for these little survivors of domestic violence. Your thoughtfulness is proof that you hear their quiet cries and listen to their voices. We hope you all had a happy, blessed holiday. Many thanks to all.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: On Friday, April 12, I was shopping at BJ’s in Auburn. I was about to cash out when I noticed a woman near me who only had a few items. I had a full basket so I told her to go ahead of me.

When I went to cash out my package of coffee K cups by itself, the cashier showed me a $5 bill that she said the woman had left to put toward that item. I could not believe this! I have heard of it happening, but it had never happened to me!

I want to thank this little blonde lady. The kindness was much appreciated and was such a pleasant surprise. I’ll be sure to “pay it forward.”

There are still good people in the world!
