We gave one to a recently widowed woman and her children. Another friend gave lights and ornaments. My boyfriend had told me stories of years when he didn't have a tree and he was terribly disappointed. We didn't want that family to feel that… especially after their tragic loss. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for the reminder to always “pay it forward”. It is a great lesson!<BR/><BR/>P.S.

I just purchased your Courtney card case, but I saw your blog afterwards and wanted to tell you about the elderly woman I helped (also) in the grocery store. She was wheeling her cart along, about to hit a bottle of dressing that someone had left on the floor. I reached down and replaced it on the shelf, and she said, "You've done your good deed." I said, "For today, today only." She smiled.

So many people were kind throughout her hospital stay (she needed surgery) and recovery. Sadly, one of her teammates was also injured on Monday. As soon as she was home, we stopped by with a couple of casseroles.<BR/>You may not be able to go through something for someone, but you can be there to do what you can to support them along the way.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for inviting us to share these stories!<BR/><BR/>My favorite is the Silhouette Polka Card Case.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02182629627660096205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10086347.post-71982225958024088302009-03-26T18:26:00.000-05:002009-03-26T18:26:00.000-05:00What a great story & contest!

I got up, went over to her & told her to go sit in my seat. She was so appreciative. The metro here is so shaky that she could have fallen over or hit her belly on a pole. <BR/><BR/>If I had to pick a favourite card case (it's hard!), it would be this cutey: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22756078Karleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793156255093494386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10086347.post-78077536895957401972009-03-25T22:49:00.000-05:002009-03-25T22:49:00.000-05:00A few days ago at a stop light my daughter saw a m...A few days ago at a stop light my daughter saw a man holding a sign asking for help. She said look mom thats a bum. (Much to my shock.) I asked her who she heard say something like that. As a pulled throught the light I spoke to her about people and we shouldn't judge them and that maybe he is doing all he can right now. She after asking a few more questions. She asked me to go back and give him something to help. I told her all I didn't have any cash on me. She said she did, some of the money she was saving for toys. I explained to her that it was her choice and the she was giving up her toy for him. She said simply ok.<BR/><BR/>Casey is 7 and I think that she would love http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22756078<BR/><BR/>I am very proud of my daughter.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great giveaway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10086347.post-24106413275023524802009-03-25T18:01:00.000-05:002009-03-25T18:01:00.000-05:00this is such a cute contest!
