HC I was at Svc. Merchandise?
HC there is a liquidation going on?
HC I bought a swinging bench for $39?
HC it was almost $200 regularly priced?
HC anyways...
HC they wouldn't let me leave it so I could find someone to come pick it up for me?
HC an older lady and her two daughters heard me on my phone and offered to help?
HC they were sooooooo sweet?
HC they went 30 miles out of their way to help me, a stranger?
HC when I told her where I lived, I assumed that she lived nearby because she broke out grinning and said "Yes! Yes! That is not far!!"
HC we were far away from my place?
HC I went to the service merchandise that is almost 40 miles away?
HC I didn't feel poorly accepting the favor b/c I assumed that they would take some gas money, and that they didn't live too far from me anyway?
HC the lady and her two daughters followed me in their truck and put the bench on my patio?
HC I asked if I could help them unload their things @ their place, to return the favor?(they bought this HUGE grill, a glass top patio table, and some other misc. items)
HC the lady told me no b/c it would be too far?
HC I got a look on my face?
HC she told me where in town she lives?
HC it's not in town?
HC it's not ANYWHERE near me?
HC she didn't care?
HC that made me feel good?
HC they wouldn't let me give them gas money?
HC I asked if there was something I could do for them?
HC they would only take garbage bags?
HC she said they needed some garbage bags @ home and asked if I had a couple?
HC I buy bulk items, in bulk?
HC I gave her a big ol' box of 120 garbage bags?
HC she took 3 of them out and gave me the box back?
HC she wouldn't take the box?
HC my mama always said "if a person thrice refuses your kindness be kind enough to stop offering"?
HC I'd reached my limit?
HC I will remember those three everytime I sit on that bench?
HC ??
HC they left smiling and waving?
HC they made my day?
HC when you get to feeling like people aren't worth the trouble... they always prove you wrong?
HC That is such a heart-warming story?!
HC People to prove you wrong sometimes, in a good way?!
HC The joys of life?!
look on my face?
