When my daughter was little, we stopped at a house that had just caught on fire. When we got there the family was just coming out the house. I called 911 and sat with the family. My daughter realizing what was happening, went to the car and got her coat. I thought she was getting…
A homeless person once helped me, in a major way. I needed to talk to someone about what it was like to lose a pregnancy, and it seemed at that time in my life no one in the universe wanted to hear about it. Except him, and he gave me his time and listened to my…
. Me and my three year old son were in line at Safeway buying a few items. We went to this store because we had to buy some boots for his fathers new job next door. I let the man behind me in the queue go in front because he only had two items. He…
An amazing lady named Sam who attended the Carers’ Pamper Day at Irabina (the childhood Autism Centre) on Sunday just sought me out. I was sitting there waiting for my son Tyler to finish his Speech Therapy session. Sam found me and told me that she’d like to give me a voucher for a Lindt Chocolate Cafe…
. There are a few of ladies behind the counter I usually have a bit of a chat to at the post office. One young lady is particularly chatty and always says hello to my kids and tells them how much they’ve grown (which they like because they consider themselves small in relation to their…
I saw a young man hitchhiking this week. It was bitterly cold and the road he was on was many miles away from anything. I stopped. I warned him not to harm me, or he would be sorry, LOL. Anyway, he was going near where I was headed. We had to drive for about 20…

. After our daughter was killed in a car accident, a couple left a note at the site of the accident where a small memorial was created by her friends. Knowing we didn’t drive down that street, our daughter’s husband brought the note to us. The note expressed their concern for us and included their…
. When I was in college I didn’t receive any tuition help from my parents. This was not my mom’s choice, but she would send $5 here and there that I knew she took from her own tiny amount she got from my dad to get her hair done etc. It always seemed to arrive…
Yesterday, a homeless man helped ME! Life has been quite challenging lately, yet I’m so fully aware of all the pain others have. As I was at the stop light, I read his sign and desperately looked for something I could give him. As I was already crying, I knew there was nothing I could…
Today I met a beautiful Italian man while I was waiting for a bus outside of the shopping centre. He stopped to talk to my 2-year-old and then chatted with me. He told my daughter that she was beautiful, just like her Mummy, but it didn’t stop there. Everyone that walked passed he would say…
