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?

A few years ago my son died
in horrible circumstances. We were all, understandably, devastated and distraught. Lots of kind people took care of us in many different ways and I feel that without their help I'd simply have gone mad with grief.

I can't list everything here that was done for us, but one thing in particular stands out.

A lady I chat to online but have never met, a mature student with children and not much money, sent me her most prized possessions - two signed photos of Sean Bean.

Somehow that gift reminded me that there was still a world out there. I still look at the photos most days and remember how much love I was shown at that awful time, even by relative strangers.



And anyway, that Sean Bean, he's hot, he is.

Dave Prowse, hahha
We met him dressed as the Green Cross Code Man at a carnival once, just after he'd been Darth Vader. We tried to get him to do the voice and he wasn't impressed.

Thank you for the hugs and kindness - it all helps, y'know, three years doesn't seem long to me.

Hugs from a stranger

As a parent, I can't even begin to imagine the pain of your son's loss. make the hugs retroactive to then, and have some more now.
