My Daughter Kept Getting Free Ice Cream\u2026 Then the Driver Handed Her a Note \ud83d\ude28<\/h3>\n

For two weeks, my 9-year-old daughter Ellie kept coming home with strawberry ice cream.<\/p>\n

The strange part?<\/p>\n

She never had any money.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWho gave you that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ice cream man.\u201d<\/p>\n

I assumed he was simply being kind.<\/p>\n

Until Ellie said something that made my stomach drop.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said strawberry was your favorite too.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was.<\/p>\n

Strawberry shortcake bars had been my favorite ice cream as a child.<\/p>\n

But I had never told the driver.<\/p>\n

The next time the truck came around, I went with Ellie.<\/p>\n

The driver looked at me for a few seconds.<\/p>\n

Then he said my name.<\/p>\n

\u201cSarah?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

I froze.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo I know you?\u201d<\/p>\n

He gave a nervous smile.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably not anymore.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before I could ask what that meant, he reached into the truck and handed Ellie a folded note.<\/p>\n

Then he looked directly at me.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake sure your mom reads this.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

I opened it.<\/p>\n

And the moment I saw the first line, I realized this wasn’t about ice cream at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
