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?

Becky, sweetheart...as you know, I lost my lovely, ace mum to cancer a few months ago...I was dreading her funeral even though I'd forced myself to imagine it many times.
But you know what? Despite it being the worst thing I've ever been through, it wasn't as bad as I'd feared. In fact, I felt quite a sense of responsibility to be able to do this last thing for her. I hope you experience something similar.
I also learned to do something I had never, ever done up to that point: lean on my friends when I needed to. That was fucking hard at first - I prefer to be leaned on. But damn, they were good.
I wish you all the luck and love and strength there is for the coming week.

sending good thoughts...your way, especially on wednesday. I lost my mother 6 years ago now and not a day goes by that i don't think of her. Your father's words to you are a gift - the best thing you can do is to try and live by them, be proud in the fact that you know that you are still doing him proud, and always will =) Best of luck.
