What is the kindest act that has ever been done for you?

Answer 1

I got deployed to Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm four days after the birth of my first child, by C-section. I felt really bad about leaving my wife and child behind so arranged with one of the bartenders at a small local tavern (Sunrise Tavern, Lake Mead Blvd, Las Vegas, Nevada) to surprise my wife and her mother the next time they stopped in with a very fancy dinner. Wine, prime rib, the works. I said my wife and her mother could have whatever they wanted. I gave the bartender my credit card number and told her charge it all to that card. I got a letter from my wife telling me about the wonderful surprise she and her mother got when they went in there. She thought I was such a thoughtful husband and I even got some brownie points with my mother-in-law. Months later when I returned from Saudi Arabia, I glanced thru the credit card statements and could not find that particular bill. Finally, I had to go down to the Tavern and talked to the bartender about the bill. Much to my surprise, she told me she paid for it as I was serving my country, the least she could do was feed my wife. Now that was a surprise I never expected and I will never forget that act of kindness. Now, 16 years later, I am returning the favor. When I go into a small cafe or tavern and see service members in uniform having lunch, I will go to the waiter or waitress and tell them I will pay the bill for the service members. They finish their meals and go to pay, only to be told someone picked up the bill for them. The look on their faces is probably the same look I had so many years ago. And I can imagine they do like I did. They go back to their unit and tell everyone what happened, spreading the cheer to the entire unit. I can not think of a nicer way to support the troops than to give them a "warm fuzzy" when they least expect it. War or no war, it is a really nice thing to do.

Answer 4

Six weeks before he died, my father told me he had NEVER seen me as a failure, even though there had been times when I'd screwed up and screwed up badly. Basically he was forgiving me for the pain and stress some of the things I'd done had caused him.

That wasn't just an act of kindness--it was an act of unconditional love.

Answer 5

This one rates high on my list. Last year my automatic transmission in my car died. After paying for a new one we were REALLY strapped for cash for the basics. The next week at church there was an anonymous gift voucher for the local supermarket left in our pigeon hole. I still have no idea who put it there but it was a God send at the time.
