Unexpected Help at the Grocery Store
My son is away at college, in his first year. He called me one night to tell me, "Mom, I met the nicest lady ever!" He had taken the bus from his dormitory to the grocery store. While he was shopping the light rain outside turned into a major storm; heavy rain, strong winds and very cold! As soon as he stepped outside the wind destroyed his umbrella and he was immediately drenched.

Everyone needs to be appreciated!

The Extra Bouquet
My mother has been recovering from pneumonia and recent surgery in a nursing care facility. Her room-mate is 93 year old lady who never gets any visitors.
I brought Mom a yellow tulip bouquet and picked up a bunch of pink roses for her room-mate as well.
She was to grateful and just couldn't stop smiling the whole time I was there!
Unfortunately, she ended up going to hospital that night so never really got to enjoy her flowers. Well, after five days, she is back! So, I'm going to bring her a new arrangement this weekend when I visit.
Ohh, and Dad said Mom LOVED the flowers!
