Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Count your Blessings I wanted to post here because I have been blessed with having some really good friends here - too many to name... but want to post a big thank you to them and you all know who you are and to share something that really touched me this morning - I live in a regular neighborhood - every so often I see this old man walking around with a trash bag....this morning...I was taking out my trash and this little spanish man was digging around in it looking for cans. I've seen him before and left cans out for him.... but this morning - it's COLD and Christmas time.... Oh wow - I felt SO bad for him that I ran in the house and got what cash I had (which was NOT much) and ran back outside - he was so embarrassed to be in the trash - and when I handed him the little bit of money - he actually got tears in his eyes. THAT is how I feel when I've been blessed by some of the members of this site and I wanted to share this....That little old man who doesn't speak English kissed my hand and went on his way and I felt very good that even though WE are struggling - I could so something that small and feel so good..... THIS IS WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT ....and to the yorkietalk members who made ME feel like that little old man ....Thank YOU.... |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Oh, Villette! I've got tears in my eyes. You know, to that man, you were his angel today. Bless you Villette. No matter what hardships we have, there is always someone worse off than us. You'll be rewarded someday for what the kindness that you showed.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | Villette, that is such a touching, beautiful story. You must have really touched that man's heart, and made his Holiday season so much better. Thanks for reminding us all the true meaning of Christmas!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | No...I'm not special but I sure wish I could do that all the time - I guess seeing him made me realize how lucky I am to have a roof over my head....so far we're not so bad off that I would have to collect cans - but lately - It sure seems like it is....and seeing that smile on that mans face just made it all come into perspective.... PLUS.... I really wanted another chance to say thank you to the members who pitched in to give the girls the wonderful gifts....Kimberly (txshopper) and the EAST COAST GANG Chelsea (Mandy) Pat & Rini....(love you ladies) and a special thanks to Brenda (minimim) ...Michelle(Waistful) ...I could go on and on.... but I just wanted to share that sweet old man this morning with you - He really had the BEST SMILE |
