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?

...But does it really warrant this length of a post? It makes Proust look concise...

I think it doesWe've had a lot of posts that have been quite long and some people find it cathartic to do that as it helps them. As you know I'm a pretty concise sort of bloke but some people are a lot more eloquent than that and if it helps someone confront their demons them I've got no problems with it

Hmmm...I'm just not convinced that "I was an irritating toddler" really counts as a demon.
Not a big scary one, anyway.

To be fairtoddlers very often make crap demons anyway...
but seriously it's something that has been on Spakka's mind for a while, and it may seem trivial but to him it was obviously something that bothered him then and still does now (if it was me I'd now be thinking am I going to turn into a wife beater or abuser).
So perhaps demons was the wrong word but it's definitely an issue with him considering the majority of his posts are pretty light hearted in QOTW

However....if you do a bit of research into children with attachment disorders and other stuff then there's all sorts of stuff to deal with that makes a demon. "We Need to Talk About Kevin" is frighteningly allegorical to some folk as well as being a good book.
