My dad and mom took me out for dinner tonight and told me this story of my dads co-worker, it warmed my heart and I just had to share it.
My father works with a young man named Lovedeep, and the two have become great friends. He is a very kind, caring person.
Over the weekend, he was bored cruising kijiji just looking around. He found an ad of a woman needing help with toys for her youngest girl. It explained that the other children had toys but the youngest didn't.
Lovedeep saw this, contacted the family, and went right out to toys R us to buy this little girl Christmas presents so she would have something to open on Christmas day. He said to my dad, "I was the only man in the Dolly aisle".
I couldn't believe how kind and caring this is. This isn't even a holiday that Lovedeep celebrates, he just did it to be kind.

Remember to give back when you can. Happy Holidays! :)

Had an awful day at work the other night where I got blasted out by a woman who got a poorly made drink from the bar, but otherwise had great service from myself for the entire six hours she was at my place of work. She embarrassed me in front of about twenty people, swearing at me telling me I was "the worst effing server she had ever seen" and that she "wasn't joking" and I need to quit right away because I'm awful at what I do. That I should "go home and re-evalutate my life." She also told me I wasn't good looking enough to be a server and that my looks aren't going to redeem my poor service. I literally was having fun with them all night, laughing with them about their ugly Christmas sweaters, and they even praised the martinis and food they received. Whatever her intentions were, she ruined an otherwise good night at work and didn't tip me off a $400 bill because of one watery drink she got from the bar that I didn't even make. Regardless, the embarrassment from what had just happened made me cry, especially the personal insults and the fact that nobody stood up for me.

Now for the good part! A table of three next to them called me over a few minutes later to give me a hug and words of encouragement, which was greatly appreciated. We had a little chat about not taking it personally because she was wasted (I don't take it personally, but it was embarrassing regardless), and they told me I was a good person and not to listen to her. That was more than enough, for them to go out of their way to make me feel better, but they went above and beyond and ended up giving me $60 for what had just happened. I am extremely appreciative of this random act of kindness by people who had nothing to do with the bad situation that had just happened, who had NO obligation to do anything for me, yet did it anyway. I was a complete stranger to them. I didn't even serve their table.

I will definitely have to pay it forward. After seeing how nasty people can be, this showed me that people can still be so kind for nothing in return.

I would like to thanks all the co-workers at From our hands to your's for caring so much for a family that was in need but was afraid to ask for any help around this time or year.
Thanks to your wonderful people this family of 3 . 1 young boy. 1 young girl and a father will now be able to enjoy a Christmas dinner and some wonderful gifts under the tree.
God bless you.
I would really like to thank Chelsey Carr for taking this family under her wing.
GOD BLESS
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE KANE FAMILY

During the recent violent exchange at the Ambassador Bridge, the proper use of force was both life-saving and efficient problem solving. The Border Officers weren't interested in killing the person, but to just neutralize the threat presented to them. Unlike many instances where there was a "kill shot" to eliminate the problem, which I feel in unwarranted. Police should be trained to shoot them in the leg to get their attention first. This Officer shot the assailant in the arm, keeping him alive. That is very difficult to do when your life may be in danger, but that's why you are paid well. The important decision a factory worker or other profession would never be expected to make. Too much gun violence. Sad.

My uncle's funeral was today and I am writing to say how touched we all were by the number of vehicles that pulled over and stopped as a sign of respect when the hearse & firetruck carrying his grandchildren passed. THANK YOU to all the drivers who did so and to all those who showed patience with the long procession following. THANK YOU to the WFD for the show of support, volunteers with the WFD Honour Guard and a wonderful tribute at Stations 5,4,1 & 3. Very touching.

I would like to say a very special thank you to Ernie at Jose's Bar & Grill, who went out of his way to deliver a soup that was accidentally left out of our staff pick-up order at lunch today. You went ABOVE and BEYOND, and it was very much appreciated!!

Just wanted to give a shout out to the girls who work at the McDonalds on Tecumseh and Lauzon across from the Tecumseh Mall. I go through the drive thru every night before I come into work and they are always so cheerful ! They do get backed up once in a while but they are always so efficient and I wanted to make sure they know their efforts and hard work have been Spotted !! Keep up the great work !!
