RE: Real LIfe Pay It Forward, Ran Into Betty Again

in #payitforward7 years ago

Here is my random act of kindness from today.

This weekend I had a show and at the end a Dad pushing a stroller with a baby walked by with his 3 year old (ish) Daughter walking too. She wanted something in my booth but Dad said they couldn't buy anything as it wasn't a good weekend for them. Could hear the stress in his voice. The show was pretty bad and many vendors barely made booth.

So I grabbed the item and chased them down and gave it to the girl.

The Dad said thank you repeatly and told me they hadn't had a good weekend at all and after hotel, travel, and everything they lost a good chunk of money. Worse 2 of them worked all weekend to loose money and they traveled 6 hours pulling a trailer to get there. He said they always get the Daughter something as she has to sit there all weekend, but they just couldn't afford to with how bad they did.

The Daughter was happy as can be, Dad was thrilled that his Daughter was happy, and well I have a soft spot for little girls so her jumping up and down hugging her new toy made my bad weekend a lot better.

Ooooh......that is so beautiful. I wouldn't be surprised if this random act of kindness will be remembered for years to come. I am a great believer in the Reaping and Sowing concept and I know you will be rewarded for your kind heart and actions........not that you do it for those reasons. It gives you such a feeling of joy when you are able to do things like this for others doesn't it? We just don't hear enough of these good stories and when we do, it greatly encourages us. Have an awesome day/night my friend.
