Wise words ....

Agreed, @Tinks - when my husband was having most of his stomach removed from cancer, I was a bawling mess in the waiting room, imagining the worst (as we do! :( ) .... Another lady was there - her elderly Dad was in ICU with a massive stroke - and there she was - she was placating ME!  She even took me for a coffee & calmed me down, whilst she had her own crisis with her Dad going on in the background.  I've never forgotten how lovely she was to a stranger.

Kindness costs nothing - but the memory & feeling lasts a lifetime

So true @arpie,

Kindness comes from unexpected quarters, even strangers have extended so much kindness to me. I have been humbled by how others have given of their time and care. Including of course the wonderful people on this forum.

hugs Tinks xx

And it is not always the ones you THINK will step up to the plate!

Treasure them like Gold!  ;)
