Spotted : To the woman at Zehers on Manning Road.
At around 5pm this evening you made my whole Christmas. I was having a day where I was worried about having enough money to do exactly what I would need. I've been sinking my money into my mother and her needs and paying it forward for a while now.
I was at the cashier, oblivious to the amount on the register, that I would be required to remove some items to stay in my budget. Just as the cashier was removing them, you offered to pay the difference. I told you I couldn't let you do that, but you did it anyways.
I moved ahead and watched you pay for the difference. I waited to hug you and began to sob uncontrollably as I thanked you. You hugged me, kissed me on my cheek and told me you once had two young kids and knew what it was like to be in my shoes.
I've always been the giver, but I had no idea how over powering it was to be on the receiving end. Your generosity has made my whole Christmas. And with the speechless words I could not seem to find in that very moment, I realized I had forgotten to get your name.
My body is aching, my eyes are tired, but my heart is filled with the warmth of Christmas miracles. It's because of you that I have sobbed happy tears for over 2 hours.
Thank you generous woman. You made my whole Christmas. I only wish I knew who you were so I could repay the generosity you have given me.
Sincerely the grateful mother of two.
Every day I go on facebook and read so many posts about paying it forward and the kindness and generous hearts of people in our community, and I am blown away at how wonderful many people can be, strangers at that!
Spotted : Tonight I actually experienced what I have been reading everyday. I took my 4 year old son out on a mommy and son date, we went to his favorite restaurant- Maria's in Amherstburg. I was so proud of my little boy, such good manners and so well behaved. We ate our dinners, and a kind gentleman that sat next to us with his family made small talk with my son, which was really nice. We finished eating, and the waitress came back a few minutes later and said our bill had been taken care of. I was in shock, and was nearly brought to tears. I cannot say that that gentleman paid our bill, but I think he did. I went to the cashier, and said I wanted to pay another couple's bill,she laughed and said wow, paying it forward fast eh? I smiled and said, how can I not, this has really made my night, and has put me in the Christmas spirit. So to the person ( kind gentleman I think), thank you, your generosity has lifted my Christmas spirit, and made me realize there are wonderful people all around. Merry Christmas,
The delighted mom and son
Please help me find this. My house was broken into and the contents of my jewelery box was taken. Along with my mothers own engagement ring and a multitude of other sentimental things was this very unique ring which my husband bought me on our honeymoon. It's diamonds and sapphires of different colours in a swirl like setting. Please keep an eye out, and if you know of it's whereabouts contact the Windsor police. Thank you in advance and Merry Christmas.
I'm looking for everyone's help.....my sisters house was broken into and her jewellery box was cleaned out....everything is gone including a couple of heirlooms. As you can imagine she is devastated....days before Christmas.
The one picture I was able to dig up of those missing items is this very unique white gold, diamond and multi coloured sapphire spiral ring.
If you see this ring....know where it is....know who has it....please post/ message me... Reward offered!
I would love to be able to find it, wrap it up and hand it to her as a gift for Christmas.
Last night we went to see the Tenors perform at the Casino, and what an amazing concert, but too bad the ladies behind us thought they were the only one's that were there. They were either talking loudly or singing along with the Tenors throughout the whole concert. Please be considerate of others around you....we've paid for our tickets to see them perform, not listen to you gab. If you want to do that, stay home and sing along with their CD....feeling annoyed for ruining our night and not thinking about anyone else but your selfishness!!!
Spotted in Windsor:
To the so called "photographer" who participated in the Downtown Mission Polar Bear Dip that's had your face plastered all over the paper and the news, maybe you should really get in the Spirit of Christmas and do something to help the people that have actually PAID for your services.
Signed, all the people you've screwed over.
Spotted : I was having dinner at the Pizza Hut on Dougall yesterday with my husband, and 3 boys as well as my "daycare children" and we were waiting for our food to come. A nice lady across the restaurant kept looking over and smiling. To our surprise when our food arrived the server told us that the meal was free as the nice lady across the restaurant had decided to pay for our entire meal because she had never seen such quiet, well behaved children. This made my heart melt and wished I was able to thank her for such a kind gesture but she had already left. So, if you are the 2 kind ladies who were sitting in pizza hut around 5 pm thursday night, I want to thank you with all of my heart!!
