Walking back up to my apartment I see the envelope on the table and smile. Gina is really a wonderful person. She didn't have to do that. I move around my apartment checking everything out, and pack the last of my stuff. The place I'm donating to will be here tomorrow at 11am to pick everything up and the movers are supposed to be here at 12:30. Everything seems to be done. I just have to wait. Regina called me when she got home and we talked for a bit. It's the last night in my apartment and I have nothing to do. The tv is pack up, the stereo is packed up, so I went to bed early. I was surprised I slept through the night. I only woke up because I heard my phone chime. I pick it up and see a text from Regina. "Good morning my love. Can't wait for you to come home today. I'm going into work now dear. I'll see you at home later".  A huge smile was on my face. I loved how she put home in there twice. "I can't wait to get home either babe. Don't work to hard. See you at home". I look at the time and it's only 9:30am. So I get out of bed and go freshen up. I get dressed and go out and get some breakfast. I get back about 10:45. I take a few things out to my truck. A little before 11:00 I hear a knock on the door I open it up and it's the people here to take my furniture and stuff. There is a woman I talked to on the phone who handles all the pick ups. She has four big guys with her and they start right away. I have my stuff and the donations separated. It takes them almost no time for them to get everything out. Once it's all done the woman came back into thank me. "You are very welcome. I'm glad I could help. Before you go, my girlfriend also wanted to make a donation". I say as I hand her the envelope. It's not sealed so she opens it pulls out a check. The woman looks at me but doesn't say anything. "Are you ok?" I ask. "Yes I'm sorry. We just don't usually get donations like this unless it's from a fundraiser or something". I look at her confused. I didn't look to see what Regina left. The woman hands me the check. "Holy shit".  "Yes. My thoughts exactly".  I look at it again to see Regina wrote a check for twenty five thousand dollars. I hand the check back to her. She puts it back in the envelope and says. "Thank you both so much for everything you have done. You have no idea how much this will help". I see her fighting the tears. I smile and give her a nod. She then turns to take her leave. My girlfriend has the biggest heart of anyone I know. Wow. Not to long after that the movers showed up and got right to work. When they finished I made sure they had the correct address and told them I'd be right behind them. When they left I took one last look around. Everything was empty. I took the keys off the key ring and left them on the counter like the landlord asked. I walk to the door, look at the apartment one last time and walk out closing the door behind me. I get into my truck and head home.
