The Mitts’ Journey
One major question that arose on Jane Ann and Mike’s mind was that how did the mitt end up in the Goodwill store of Florida. The time when the mitt was owned by their son, he was a child and they all lived in Willoughby, Ohio. The mitt had traveled all the way from Ohio to Florida, but how?
Confusion
With the feeling of happiness and excitement, Mr. and Ms. Lisi were confused too. They could not figure out who could have donated the Mitt in Florida’s Goodwill store when it was originally bought by them in Ohio. How did mitt travel a journey of about 1,100 miles? Ms. Lisi had definitely not donated it.
Vastness
The Goodwill stores have a service of transporting goods from one place to another and hence making items shift in various stores. The shifting of each item is not tracked individually, so it would not be possible to figure out how the mitt ended up in the store of Florida.
Assets
Goodwill stores not only use half of the money made by purchases in donation, thus making our purchases go for a good cause, but also have items that can turn out to be real assets. You can be lucky to find a record of The Beatles, or even an original literature piece in these stores.
Got Lucky
That is exactly how Julie Ann and Michael got lucky. They did not win any Beatles record, but what they found was way more precious than any of those things. The 40-year-old mitt was no less than winning a lottery for them, and they were happier as ever.
The Photograph
Ann and Mike decided to click a picture with the special mitt and asked a staff member to do so. They made sure that the name of their son was facing the camera and was clear like a crystal. They held the mitt in their hands in such a position and clicked a picture to send it to their son, whose reaction was winsome.
