The nicest thing someone's ever done for meIn 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?

Sappy Story about my Savior SisterWhen I graduated college I couldn't find any work with my degree in English Literature(shocking). I was unemployeed with my girlfriend paying the rent for about nine months. About a month after my dad died (mom died while I was in high school), our aparment burned down because a neighbor left their fireplace unwatched. We had no insurance, so we lost everything, she moved in with her parents and I had nowhere to go.
My sister living two thousand miles away (one of ten siblings I might add) was the only person who would take me in. It was a huge risk for her, I was totally broke, hadn't worked in months. I had nothing, and still she bought me a plane ticket and gave me a bed.
After she took me in everything turned around. Now I have an awesome job, a nicer apartment, and was able to bring my girlfriend out here to support her for a little while.
I love my sister very much, I owe her everything and she has never asked for anything in return.
