Dear Miss Thomas,
I think you are such a kind woman. The minute you saw little Bud all swollen and infected you nurtured him. Poor Bud had to act manly around all those men and he didn’t want to complain or cry about some swollen hornet stings or an infected hand. I think that it was very sweet of you to order him a good meal. It must have warmed your heart watching him gulp his food up so quickly. A nice meal of meat loaf, okra, and mashed potatoes really makes a tummy feel good! Bud had gone through so much before meeting you and I think you came into his life at a perfect time. He needed a nurturing figure so badly since he lost his mother four years ago. When you were at the Sweet Pea and he started crying it meant so much to him that you were there. It was as if you were an angel, pulling him out of his chair and sitting him on your lap rocking him and telling him that you understood. You even brought me to tears with your compassion. It was then that he felt you letting him know he was finally home. When Bud heard you arguing with Herman E. Calloway about letting Bud stay that made him feel safe I’m sure; to have someone on his side probably was a huge relief for him. He did not want to go back to The Home. I’m sure you know already, but that picture you gave Bud of his mom that was sitting on your dressing table for so many years meant so much to him. As you may know he only had that one picture of his mother that he carried around for so long. To have a picture that was up close and he could see her face and have her eyes follow him where were ever he went is priceless to him. You see, Miss Thomas, you had such an impact on Bud’s life and you should be proud of it. You have such a big and warm heart.
Thank you for your kindness.
