[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 529858, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]Very Sweet. Often the smallest things make the biggest impact. I have an act to report - one that was done to me this afternoon. Your post couldn't have been more timely. So, two of the three washer/dryers in easy child's building have been on the fritz for a couple weeks. That leaves just one machine (stackable) for 10 apartments. (Sidebar - we own the building and contracted a laundry leasing company to install two full size coin washers and 2 dryers on Friday afternoon - previously they were free). Ok, so easy child is busy. She works 35-45 hours a week as a nanny and also goes to school part time to be a Special Education teacher as well as doing 20 hours of classroom observation the last three weeks. She hasn't have a lot of time to do single loads of all her laundry. She's been doing just what was needed and has accumulated quite a lot of laundry. So this morning I told her that I would help her if she wanted to bring everything that needed washing to our neighborhood laundrymat. difficult child and his bud were going to see The Avengers this afternoon and I told her we would be able to get it done during that time frame since we could do it all at one time. So, we load up three huge industrial washers and headed over to the convenience store next store for coffee. We go back to the laundry mat and sit outside at a little table they have. A car pulls up and a man gets out. He walks up to us and asks, "How has your day been going?" I said, "Alright, how about yours?" He reaches in his pocket, pulls out his wallet and says, "Hopefully this will make the rest of day better", and proceeds to place a $100 bill down on the table in front of me. I was speechless for a few seconds and then looked up and said, "Really?" He smiled, walked back to his car, got in and, as he was driving past on his way out of the parking lot, he rolled his window down and said, "Remember, God is good." easy child and I were speechless. We just sat there for a couple minutes looking at each other. We've decided to pay it forward when the moment presents itself. Talk about a random act of kindness...... Sharon[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
