I loved the Harry Potter Tour in London. But once they opened the doors to the studio, my heart was flooded by a tsunami of emotions as I reflected on how much Charles Rogers would have loved this tour. The tears refused to be held back but it was dark so I thought it was enough to hide my grief. Sometimes the grief just ambushes me like a punch to the heart.
I found a seat in the crowd and as I was struggling to pull it together, a concerned Warner Brothers staff member came up to me and asked if I was OK.
I admitted I was having a hard time because I had just lost my son in June and it had hit me how much he would have loved the Harry Potter tour. Her response was so very thoughtful and later she found me and handed me this note and said that she had just suffered a loss in her own family.
I have to say as hard as this journey has been, and it has been utterly brutal, there are moments of kindness that are simply unsurpassed and give you faith in the human race.
Thank you to the blonde female staff member at #WBTourLondon for that random act of kindness. You went above and beyond.

Wow this is amazing! I find strangers give gift like this to those of us who have suffered losses at a time when we need them most. How wonderful that she was there for you. Thanks for sharing Anne.
I needed it then so much. And there she was. I will never forget it.
