A Act of Kindness?

Question

I received several beautiful answers to a similar earlier question. But what I was seeking were stories of kindness and good deeds you have witnessed, or performed. We were discussing earlier responses and had an epiphany; do you recall the movie/ book “Pay It Forward”? If not you need to read or see it; not because of this message but for the enjoyment and understanding it will bring you. Knowing the authoress has set-up a highly successful foundation based on the idea in the movie/ book. We wondered what would happen if we continued asking the same question both here and at other available site? Requesting the viewers to repeat the posting and for them to ask their readers to post the same question. In just a few days we would have something more important then a question we would have a movement. We would have a movement that would encourage deeds of kindness. Soon there would be these who would compete for best deed, have their deed heard; to feel good or to be good! Like the book and movie it is not only simple but viable all it would take is us to take a few minutes of our day, what do you say?

Answer 1

MY DAD, my grandmother and friends all say he has more heart then brains and is going to end up dead because of it. When I was little I saw him jump off a pier to save two children and he can barely swim; we were in a restaurant when a old woman told the waitress she could not afford anything but coffee, he told me to call her grandmother so I did then he apologized saying we could not help but notice how much she looked like his late mother(she is still alive) and insisted on buying her breakfast; he broke through a police line to be with a dying girl pinned in a burning car; he saw old woman calculating her grocery bill at the end of shopping trip putting back several items, he took fifty dollars over and dropped it picking it up returning it to her as she must have dropped it- a few minutes later he saw her hand the money to a manager when he asked him why was she returning the money to him the manager said she said she had found it-my dad told him what he had done and the manager went back told her it was store policy and it was hers and to get her groceries they were free that night (good deeds must spread); still another time he was in a drug store when this old lady had a cane for a 6 foot person and no tip he went to hardware pick-up a saw it off and bought her a tip for the cane and just Sunday were in line to pick-up a prescription when the lady in front of us tried to buy just 6 of her pills so she could eat, of course they said they were sorry when he got to the head of the line he paid for her pills; many, many times we have been in a restaurant were the younger patrons would be eating and one of them would be watching, he always tells the waitress to buy the odd person dinner and not to tell them it was from him; and the last one to come to mind is Christmas he always finds someone who needs it and tips three hundred dollars (that is to two or three people). By the way he never allows anyone to recognize him even though once he ran into traffic so heavy the rescue squad was waiting, stopped the bleeding of a guy who had just lost his foot (without gloves and risking AIDS) the city would not allow him to leave and awarded him a award for citizen of the year. But he never stays around or allows anyone to know it was him even though there have been attempts to identify him. The Kindest Act My Dad Gary.

Answer 2

I did smack my head on a floor while catching a baby in a high chair that was tipping over(not that it's much. I am a clutz and smack my head kind of often lol). The kid's father tried to buy my breakfast, and I said no way.
My reward? That baby made eye contact with me and smiled. I'm pretty certain the kid knew what went down. That rare good memory was enough for me.

Answer 3

an act of kindness can be as small as getting a glass of water to one who is thirsty. i told this same thing to a person i loved and they agreed. they ended up in a nursing home after they had a stroke and was paralyzed on one side of their body and could not speak and was bedridden for the last three years of their life.

every time i came in to visit i would offer a drink of water and they always took the water and you could see that they really appreciated it...since then i have volunteered my time in doing Respite work for those that need it and giving transportation to those that need rides after medical treatment or can't get out to the grocery store.
