Below are 2 stories that inspired the thought of Random Acts of Kindness:

At Christmas time in 2009 I went to pick up a few last minute gifts by myself. The weather was terrible as the sleet and wind kept most people inside. As I was pulling into the store parking lot I notice two men out near the edge of the road with signs promoting last day Holiday sales. Neither man had a hat on and their faces were are red as my hair. I instantly starting crying and had to do something to help. I went in and bought both of them a thermal ski mask that could keep their neck, face and head warm. I walked through a huge snow drift to reach them. They seemed very startled when I tapped them on the shoulder and handed them their gift. They instantly put them on and we exchanged Merry Christmas wishes. I called James as I was driving home and I again was instantly crying. When I got home Adalin came up to me very seriously and lovingly and said, "Momma, that was a REALLY nice thing you just did".


This past summer shortly after Adalin returned home from her final trip to St. Jude she and I went shopping. The doctors had cleared her to get her iv port removed so that she could enjoy swimming. She wanted a new suit that would cover her scars. As we pulled into the parking space I noticed a gentlemen looking through the trash cans in front of us. As I was looking around the van for some extra money she asked "what was taking me so long". I pointed out the gentlemen in front of us and told her I wanted to help him. She also said she wanted to give him some of her own money. By the time I got her out of the van and in her wheel chair, the gentleman was half way across the parking lot. She asked me if I would run and push her so that we could catch up to him. As I ran, she sweetly yelled, "Sir, excuse me sir." When we reached him she handed him the money. At that moment his very tired eyes glistened, and he looked directly at her and said, "Thank you, you saved my life!".
