3 . On a Friday evening in December, I was laid off. My heart sank.

In the next week, I desperately applied for jobs as my bank account grew smaller. I felt as if the world was closing in on me.

One weekend afternoon, I dropped my daughter Kristil in a wealthy gated community for a birthday party. I watched as she went in, surrounded by all the nice things we couldn’t afford. I drove home defeatedly.

Back at home, I glanced out the window. It had been snowing on and off all morning. I noticed a woman with short white hair struggling to open her car door against the wind. As she got out, I realized it was my old professor, Sister Esther Heffernan. I hadn’t seen her since we’d met three months before.

I first met Sister Esther 10 years ago when I was her student at Edgewood College in Madison, Wisconsin. Kristil was 3 at the time, and I sometimes took her to class. Sister Esther was understanding and would bring coloring books to occupy Kristil.

Even after I graduated, we still kept in touch. I had grown to love her like family.

I rushed to the front of my building. “What are you doing out in this weather?” I asked as we hugged.

“Well, I tried to call you last week but couldn’t get through. Then I called your company and they said you weren’t working there anymore, so I thought I would come by,” Sister Esther said. “I have gifts for you and Kristil.”

She handed me a card. “This is for you,” she said as she kissed me on the cheek. I walked her to her car and waved as she pulled away.

When I opened her card, I turned in shock. Hundred-dollar bills fell onto the table. Tears of gratitude puddled in my eyes as I counted. Sister Esther had given me $1,000.

14 years passed, but I’ve never forgotten what Sister Esther did for us.
