This is a question The nicest thing someone's ever done for me

In amongst all the tales of bitterness and poo, we occasionally get fluffy stories that bring a small tear to our internet-jaded eyes.

In celebration of this, what is the nicest thing someone's done for you? Whether you thoroughly deserved it or it came out of the blue, tell us of heartwarming, selfless acts by others.

Failing that, what nice things have you done for other people, whether they liked it or not?

Somewhat Unusual
I've been blessed in the past with some of the most wonderful and amazing friends in the world.

We've had adventures of various kinds and spent a lot of time enjoying each others company (whatever that means) but my single best friend is Jim.

Let me tell you a story, about me and about Jim and about how Jim's act of kindness helped me beyond measure.

In 1994 I was a student and not getting on particularly well mentally (again, feel free to interpret that whichever way you wish).

During one of my less-sane events, I climbed to the top of the university tower and was preparing to see if I could fly. Naturally, I was sectioned.

Jim - a nurse - took me in to his home when I was released and treated me intensively for six weeks. Put simply, without Jims' input I wouldn't be here writing this.
