To the Editor,

Words are not descriptive enough to capture the feelings I had as I read the story by Scott Bigelow about Sam’ta Claus Visits in The Robesonian on Saturday.

However, I hope a simple thank you will suffice for the positive news coverage and the great story that Scott shared with the readers. Scott found a way to remind the readers that there is hope that can emerge from despair and a sense of hopelessness. He described the warmth, the sense of giving and sharing, and the joy that children found once they were able to come in from the cold winter morning to get a toy. As I watched the children and their parents try to select the perfect toy, I knew that their resolve for a brighter tomorrow was being renewed through a simple act of kindness.

It is my sincere hope that The Robesonian, which people of Lumberton have trusted for many years, will lead the way in providing inspiring news coverage that touches the humanity in us all.
