18. Thank you so much for reminding me of simple human kindness
:cry: I am sitting at my desk crying now, thanks a lot, LOL

It is so hard these days to remember how kind people actually are, and how ultimately, in our souls, we are creatures of cooperation, not of competition and hatred. If we weren't our species wouldn't have lasted this long.

We need to get back to a spirit of cooperation - not just one-on-one, like your story - but in the big picture, or we will ruin ourselves.
