Thank you to the lady in the dark blue Grand Prix at Tim Hortons on Howard and Grand Maris. Thank you for paying for my order of $7.70. I just finished writing my first exam and I was having a terrible day. You completely changed my day and cleared my head for my next exam. I guess everything happens for a reason. It took me a little while to realize what just happened. I would have paid it forward to the car behind me. Instead the $8 dollar for my breakfast went to the Salvation Army Christmas Kettle.

P.S. I hope your get your drivers window to roll down again.

Today me and my daughter were at Walmart on Dougall and I spotted a black purse and a cart so I handed it into customer service I hope whoever lost it sees this and it gets returned to you happy holidays made me feel good I hope it gets returned to you.

My poor 87 year old mom with altzheimers has lost her purse and all it's belongings in the Lasalle area, we believe at Shoppers Drug mart or Zehrs on Malden Road.You may keep the cash but please find it in your heart to return the rest of its contents to save us a lot of time and energy trying to replace all her cards and identification.I know it's Christmas and you will do the right thing.If you know of someone that has either taken it or found it please contact us and make my very upset, emotional and anxious mother feel at ease. Thank You and God Bless.

Today at the Toys'R'Us on howard ave in windsor I was looking for a drum set for christmas but there were none on the floor. I asked Michael behind the counter at the electronics department if there were any in stock for boys. He checked in the overflow areas for the drum set but didn't see any so he took the time to check in the back for it. He came back to notify me that there were none and they were discontinued so they wouldn't be getting any more in but told me of another set that was smaller but in black not blue but still had all the same pieces. He then went on a hunt to look for the drum set and found it stuffed in the back of the overflow area. Just a big thanks to him and his "out of the way and over the top" effort he had toward finding the item and helping us any way he could even though the store was busy during this time of year.

We went to visit Santa after hours tonight, Sophia was already tired as she had a short nap today meaning things would either go amazing OR be a train wreck. I dreaded going and the entire time put a smile on my face knowing she wasn't going to sit with him and prayed that there wouldn't be a meltdown.
We got to the mall a little early, went in and got our number, it was nice and calm. I was still on patrol, scanning, worrying, making up 25 scenarios in my head of things that could set her off and go wrong. Before we knew it our number was up and it was Sophia's turn to see Santa, they asked "how can we make this a good visit for her?" I gave a list of helpful tips and they followed every single one.
Again it was awesome!!!

But that wasn't what made this trip special, it was what Santa said to me that made me realize how great of a trip we had tonight.

After about the 11th time of me saying "sorry" to the staff for Sophia running around and refusing to sit Santa walked over and told me "stop saying sorry!" He told me "you have nothing to be sorry for, she's a wonderful little girl and quite well behaved." He also went on to tell me to relax and enjoy her the way she is because she's perfect.

Thank you Santa!!

You. Are. Awesome!!!

You made me realize what a successful trip tonight was, we might not be able to do things the conventional way, but our girl is happy and that's a win.

Signed,
One Happy Autism Mommy

Thank you to the individual who put my daughter's My Little Pony bracelet and ring in the Superstore lost & found.

My daughter took them off to wash her hands & left them on the bathroom counter. She was so disappointed when we went back & they weren't still on the counter. We walked down to the customer service area & asked if anyone had turned them in. At the bottom of the lost & found bin was the bracelet & ring. My daughters face lit up which made us all smile in the room on a busy Sunday afternoon.

Although both pieces are cheap metal & plastic they were an early birthday gift & they mean the world to her. So thanks again to the individual who turned them in.

Overworked this holiday season, you always have a smile. Both my kids love you and instantly just seeing you brings a smile to their faces. Today on our toys r us trip, you were there. In the lego isle, just being your amazing self. You took the time to chat with my children, you kept his lego box safe as we browsed the store. Thanks for being you. It shows and translates into your work. Merry Christmas this season, from the future hostage negotiator. :)

Thank you to the kind folks who paid for my breakfast at Jerry and Jenny's Diner this morning! You can imagine my surprise when I went up to the cashier to settle my bill! Hope you are having a great Christmas season and I also hope that you see this. Thanks again!
