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?

About two years ago..My dad passed away from a major heart attack. It was instant and no way any doctors would have been able to save him. He was only 52 but a heavey smoker. Anyway I was at work when my mum came to tell me. My boss came and gave me a hug and I went home. There was lots of traveling around that day to see family and friends and picking up my (then) boyfriend from Paddington who had jumped on the first train from Reading to come and be with me.
That evening we were all sitting on the sofa when the Doorbell rang. Thinking it was another relative or frint come to offer their condolances, I went to answer it. It was interflora saying they had some flowers for me. When I opened the card it turned out it was from the whole office and they had all signed it with best wishes. There was even a long message from my boss who had gone through the same thing when he was my age. I had no idea everyone in the office cared that much and it was the nicest thing anyones done for me.
(First QOTW, please be nice!)
