That's awesome. The world would be a wonderful place, if everyone were that thoughtful of others.

Random Acts of Kindness

Has anybody seen the movie, Pay it Forward? It's a good moviestarring Spacey, Helen Hunt, and Haley Osment. The most amazing thing happened this evening that brought that movieto mind. My 13 year old son, his young friend, and I went for a walkthis evening. Afterwards, we stopped at the restaurant for dinner. Ididn't have enough cash in my wallet but I had my checkbook and wasprepared to write a check when dinner was done. My son was talking about a video game that he wanted to design basedupon our town. We were eating and talking and when dinner was almostdone, the server came back and told me that I didn't need to worryabout paying for the meal. Why? I wondered what was going on. The server told me that the womanwho had been eating at the booth next to ours took care of our bill. This was truly amazing. As far as I'm concerned, it was a newsworthyevent.So often, all we hear about is all the bad stuff that is going onaround town, across the country, and around the world. Ellensburg islocated at the hub of I-90, I-82, Hwy 10 and Hwy 97. Lots of peoplewill stop at the restaurant we went to this evening, over the courseof a year. To have a woman I did not know and have never met and probably willnever see again, do something like this, is truly amazing. The servertold me that this woman said she had something nice done for her bysomebody she didn't know and hadn't met and just wanted to do the samefor somebody else.Pay it ForwardDonna in WA

I didn't get to see the whole movie.. I did however get to see maybe from

the middle to the end.. I cried.. but it was a great movie! (Wonder if it's

on " on demand " anywhere, if not I'm going to have to pick up the DVD)...

And yes the world would be such a wonderful place if everyone did the

same.... However, I do know, for a fact, that ALL of our group members are

those type of " Angels " ... Some have performed miracles for me, and they know

who they are, they'll just remain nameless... but they really have NO idea

how much their taking part in the miracle meant to me!

I KNEW where home was when I needed to come home... I just had to find the

path to get here... The people in this group are just tremendous, (sorry, I

just have to keep saying it.. so you don't forget how much you all mean to

me) when it comes to support.... Even the group of other mother's who lost a

child didn't make me feel like you people do.. I now have the support

network around me that has been the most tremendous help in working through

my grieving process... I know that I can come here and cry anytime that I

need to and that someone, everyone, will help to hold me up and get me

through those rough times... Oh, yes, I have a tremendous support here at

home as well, would never get tired of hearing me talk about my son, or

hold me when I needed to cry... But it helps to have friends who are

non-judgemental, and won't eventually say... " Don't you think it's time you

let it pass " ...

You have all " Paid It Forward " as far as I'm concerned.. and thank you so

very much for doing so.
