Poor Janitor Buys Old Doll at Flea Market, Gives it to Child & Hears Crackling Sound from It — Story of the Day

Pauline, a struggling single mother, bought a vintage doll at a flea market for her daughter, Eve, as a birthday gift. Eve, who longed for a doll because she had no friends at school, was overjoyed when Pauline presented it. However, as Pauline handed it over, she heard a crackling sound and discovered a hidden note inside the doll, which read, “Happy Birthday, Mommy.”

Curious, Pauline returned to the flea market and found the seller, Miriam, who tearfully explained that her late daughter had bought the doll for her before passing away from cancer. Selling her daughter’s toys helped Miriam cope with the grief.

Pauline comforted Miriam, sharing her own struggles as a widow raising Eve. The two women formed an instant bond, and a few days later, Miriam visited Pauline’s home with an envelope containing $3,000, money raised from selling her daughter’s toys.

Pauline, initially reluctant, accepted the gift for Eve’s sake. Over time, Miriam became a loving presence in their lives, helping both women heal from their losses and forming a lasting friendship.
