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?

The fact that he got Bertrand Russell's name wrong implies that he's not familiar with his writing, he's just read that "Bertrand Russell wrote that the government should destroy the family" or similar.
Also I noticed that all his references are in the form "X wrote that such-and-such should happen", rather than direct quotes.
