SimranA Thank You Note
Though he was a writer, he wasn’t able to write a word in the note at that time. He was sobbing while remembering his mother. He somehow managed to write a reply and he wrote: “That short note was the best gift that I ever received from anyone.” And sent the letter to Robert at the given address. Was that the end? If you are thinking like that, then just read further to know as to what John did afterward.
A Story
Writers often take inspiration from their own experiences and this experience was nothing less than a roller coaster ride for him. That night he didn’t sleep at all, his mind was full of thoughts that he wanted to pen down on a paper. A lot of inspirational stories come out every day but for John, it wasn’t just a story, it was an emotion that he wanted to share with the world. He wanted to immortalize Sue’s action into a story that everyone could read.
The Joy Of Christmas
Finally, in the year 2016, John was invited to send a story for the Christmas edition The Joy of Christmas by Chicken Soup for the Soul. He jumped with joy that finally, his hard work paid off. He considered the invite as the gift that the god had given him on Christmas and he thought that it was just his mother’s good deeds that his fate smiled on him again and he got an invite to submit his story.
Spellbound
Amy Newmark, who was the publisher and editor-in-chief was smitten with the story when she read it for the first time. John knew a lot of writers wished to get featured and the competition was quite tough so he considered himself really lucky when he was invited to submit his story for the Christmas edition. It was a dream come true kind of situation for John and he was extremely happy about the same.
Motives
Before this incident, John wanted to get featured in the Chicken Soup for the Soul to get famous and earn a lot of money. He knew that after getting an invite from the publishing house, he would be bombarded with opportunities. But now, his main motive was to tell the whole world that good deeds never go in vain just like making others happy never goes out of the style. And luckily, he succeeded in his motive too!
