It worked out exactly as I had hoped

My aunt is a wonderful person.  She is truly one of those who would do absolutely anything for anyone, and would go over and above for those she loved.  When I lived in my hometown, it was more often than not she upon whom I relied for taking care of my house when I was out of town.  We once found a stray cat and couldn't add to our group at the time, and my aunt happily took it (and many other strays over the years) into her home.  Unfortunately, she has hit on very hard luck over the years when it comes to her jobs.  She had been working for years for a company that closed its doors during the recession, and as so many did, had trouble finding another job.  Anytime she gets a temp job that can lead to full time work, she is almost always hired on because she is a fabulous employee.  Unfortunately, it also means that she is "low man" on the totem pole and is the first to lose her job during down times or reorganizations.  Right now, she is currently working about 15-20 hours a week as a clerk at a gas station.  She makes basically nothing more than she made on unemployment, but to her it doesn't matter...she has a job and is earning her money.  Her mother, my grandmother, is an extremely wealthy woman.  You would never know it because GG doesn't carry herself that way, and I have no problem with that.  I do, however, have a problem with the fact that GG is so unbelievably tight with her money when her own daughter is struggling so...a daughter who has given up much over the last eight years to be there for GG.  So, I did something about it.  When our tax refund arrived, we went and bought a good amount of gift cards to Kroger.  I wanted our gift to her to be truly anonymous, so I found an envelope and typed the address, and of course there was no return address on it.  My biggest fear was that someone would realize it was gift cards and my attempts to remain anonymous and they would be stolen in the mail.  However, last week at Mom's doctor appointment, she mentioned that Aunt had received these gift cards in the mail and they were all trying to imagine who had sent them.  Mom mentioned that it obviously wasn't GG (ha, ha) and that the person clearly wanted to remain anonymous as the envelope was typed on "an old-fashined" typewriter.  I thought my cover might've been blown at that point, because Mom happened to be sitting right there when my paternal grandmother gave me her old typewriter just a few months ago.  Fortunately Mom didn't make that connection, and I am so pleased to know that the cards arrived safely.  I have been more than blessed over the course of life and truly wish I could do more for her right now...maybe again soon!  Andrew and I did this in honor of my dad, who I know would've done something very similar!  We are so grateful we could do something to help, and we are even more grateful that no one knew it is us!
