Too lovely not to share with the readers of my blog. I loved it!

Oh you are so very kind to reblog me on your site! I have had over 30 people pop over and read my posting (and browse my site) from following your link. Thank you 🙂
That is wonderful! I usually don’t reblog people’s stuff but your story was so inspiring and touching that I thought it would be a great lift for a dreary Monday following such a tragic weekend. Great writing and a beautiful sentiment. Thanks for following along and congrats on being FP’ed!! I am glad you got more traffic from my site! My Facebook also got quite a few likes and comments too as I also shared the post there!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I so needed to read such a happy and wonderful story. What is so hard about everyone doing these kind of nice things for each other? We need so much more of this. So much more. We all need to reach out and help people. The smallest things can be so welcomed sometimes. I adore the way he snuck the wine into the bottom of her bag. And the money. Oh so clever. We have recourses so we can share them not hoard them. This has really lifted my spirits tonight.
I am so glad Linda! It lifted my spirits and so I reblogged it this a.m. Such a great and heart warming story!
