A "feel good" Christmas story

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

Hubby's 80 year old mom went thru Chemo & radiation from April til October - diagnosed cancer free now.
Prior to Christmas each year she has a company come to her home & clean her carpets.
This year, the guy cleaning had a yellow wrist band, so Mom asked about it. He said he supported the local Cancer center, had never had it & noone in family had it but just thought it was something he should support.
So Mom told him about her long summer.
When he was finished the cleaning job, she got out her checkbook. He said "put that away, you've been through enough this year - it's free!"

Brought tears to my eyes again.

What a story!

If we'll open our eyes, we can see that there are more good folks in this Ol' world than bad.

Oh wow, Jeanne...it is so good to hear stories of kindness. Made my eyes sting for just a minute, too. God bless him...and your mother-in-law.

Thanks. When she told us, it made us FEEL so good about everything. I know there are nice people out there, but sure is nice to know people think about others over their "income".

We tend to notice the bad things quicker than the good, but the good is still all around us. Thanks for the story. Made me feel good, too.

That was so sweet of him. I pray that he gets all the cleaning jobs he wants.

Thanks for sharing the story. There are good people out there, we just don't usually hear about them.
