Yesterday at the Village Post Office, a little old man, on oxygen, while caring a large package to be mailed, looked up to find a very long line of Villagers waiting to mail packages....One gentleman at the head of the line, took the little man's package, asked him to wait in his car and when it was time he would wave him in and let him take his place at the front of the line...This fine gentleman told the people waiting behind him that as soon he got the elderly man's package mailed, he would move to the end of the line..The package was mailed, the gentleman started to move to back of line, and the group of Villagers insisted on him staying in line...

ps: That gentleman was the "ole boy"...see why I'm crazy about this guy!

The first post I read this morning was about someone having to put their dog Daisy of 15 years to sleep. Now, I read this one and my eyes of full of tears. I'm going to make an extra effort to do something really nice for a stranger today. Who knows what they may be going through on the inside? Thank you nice gentleman.

What a wonderful, kind deed. What you put out into this world, you get it back. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but eventually.

100% agreement. Call it karma, fate, or "you reap what you sow", the end result is a ray of sunshine for more than just the person who was actually helped. I am glad to start my day with a smile on my face. Thanks to the OP for posting.....
