(36,974 posts)11. Great story :) But suggest to her to next time use a rubber band
I never take a purse shopping.
I always but a rubber band (the strong type usually found on a head of broccoli) around my debit card, drivers license and folded money before putting them into my pocket.
Works nicely and keeps everything all together.

OP
your mom was someone's angel. Tell her there are no coincidences and that this was meant to be. :)

Your momma has a heart. Your story is really nice. I remember back in 1984 (I think) my husband

Yes! Love it! Tell your Mom that she helped a whole lot of people (& me) regain the Christmas spirit
