Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
Hi there! I want to Spot Windsor Fire for helping a lady whose car broke down on Dougall Ave yesterday. They got out of the truck and pushed her into a parking lot so she wasn't stuck in the middle of the road. Windsor is full of awesome people.
This morning, I was out for a drive and came across a funeral procession at the intersection of Banwell and Tecumseh roads. There is a group of construction workers I would like to acknowledge, and give them kudos and respect. As the procession was passing the work area, they turned off all, and I mean all machines, including the paver, took off their hats and placed them over their hearts for respect for someone they probably never met in their lives. You could see some of them praying as the hearse drove by. They waited until every single car in the procession passed to start their machines up again and continue working.
At the same time, I would like to say how disappointed I am in some of our Windsor residents, who rushed passed the procession, honked their horns at the cars in front of them that stopped making a left hand turn to let the procession through. Then there were those that were cordial enough to pull off the road, some getting out of the cars to pay respects to fellow Windsorite and their family.
I was brought to tears this morning, to witness this. It starts to restore in me some faith that there is still good in Windsor.
Hats off to the construction workers. I hope some of them see this post, and know that they did not go unrecognized, and they deserve a great big thank you, instead of cursing when we pass them in all this construction.
Please pass this on, so that they know, that we know, that they are good people.
Last night I watched you address a very sad situation. In the face of what had to be a pretty tough night on the job, I saw how you continued in your duties with a calm demeanor and pressed on even when I could see sadness in the eyes of a couple of you.
I can't imagine having to live every day knowing that nights like last night were a possibility every time I showed up to work. I truly believe it takes something special that not all of us have to be able to face that while still conducting yourself as a decent human being.
Thank you for what you do.
today I was was at a Tim Hortons on Huron line beside the Bulk Barn and went in to use the washroom. When I walked in I saw saw 2 employees helping this elderly woman that was in a wheelchair use the washroom. They helped her get into her chair and cleaned her up too, I was almost in tears watching this! Great to see that some workers do more than what they have to do, It made me want to do something nice after that :)
To the amazing employees at the McDonald's on Drouillard and Tecumseh:
You've been spotted. I love the friendly attitude of all the crew members, and the dedication of your managers. My family and I have shared many meals there, since it's a nice, close by place to let our little girl interact with people. One of the lovely ladies there even watched my table so I could change my daughter since I was alone with her.
And Ainsley, if you see this, thank you so much for looking for my wedding ring. I don't think I'll ever forget how amazing that was.
Just, thanks all around.
Sincerely,
The mom of the girl who puts her high chair back by herself. & lt;3
I lost my wallet over the weekend around the josephine & campbell area and after freaking out for two days i found it in the mail box .. there was no note or no name... but whoever returned my wallet me & daughter appreciate you very much! & im glad there is still good people in this world THANK YOU!!!!
So anyone who has a pre-schooler can sympathize that sometimes they are just going to act out, particularly when they're tired. I just wanted to say a big thank you to the kind man that helped me out this past Saturday at Zehrs on lauzon parkway. My lil girl was throwing a fit because she dropped her cookie on the floor and I refused to get her another one. We headed to the check out and there were two gentelmen in line in front of us; the one offered for us to go ahead of them. I said "no, no, you only have a few things it's alright but thanks", then in line he handed me a kinder egg while we were waiting in line and said "here you go mom". And obviously that made my lil girl happy. I've never had that "spotted" moment, no one has ever really done something sweet for me w/ out reason - thank you so much for that. Sometimes in life it's the simplest of acts that mean the most.
A balloon floated into out backyard. My son found it stuck in a tree with this note attached to it. I'm not sure where it was originally sent from but it had a note to someone who had passed away. I'd love to let them know how far it traveled. If everyone can share this in hopes it finds the original owner.
