Had a very good friend of mine surprised me yesterday. We've known each other for close to a decade and in that time I've had the privilege of watching his kids grow up and contributed where I could as he's a single dad. For a stint he would work nights and I'd amble over to his house and have dinner for the kids or pick them up from school. Little things people DO.
So as a single dad at the beginning of this month he was able to buy a house! He had saved that much in ten short years. Nothing fancy but a paint job here, a little landscaping there, and were well on our way to making this house a home for him and his kids. So yesterday he asked to borrow my van which I didn't mind but I did tell him the tires are a bit worn so be careful. Heck, his kids and him have the keys to my house
as they had often stayed over as young pups. Anyway he takes it to buy stuff at home depot and returns it late that night. I go out to the garage this morning to smell rubber. Yes, fresh rubber hit my nose. My friend had bought me four new tires for my 2006 Toyota Sienna! Folks, to say that I was shocked is an understatement. I'm usually not at a loss for words but I was tongue tied. You don't give this guy a bear hug, or give thanks endlessly for something he's done. This is someone who YOU would go out of the way to help as he is that nice of a guy. A mechanic/ electrician just pretty much all around nice guy who has NEVER asked for money for his services. Just wanted to share with you that there are REALLY decent people in this world. So it is with B&B that I too have meet some wonderful people and am fortunate to be part of this community. Thanks for the read.
