Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
I drove to the petro canada on ouelette and tecumseh road due to a light on my dashboard showing my tires werent full. I used the tire air machine and filled my tires but when I went to turn on the car after, it still came on. So I turned the car off and checked the tires if there might be a hole in one, and a great man offered me help checking my tire pressure, and since the air time ran out he payed for extra time for air to pump the tire I had that was low! I was so thankful that I had his help, it truly shows there are great people out there, as I was leaving he knocked on my window and handed me his tire pressure gage and insisted I keep it! Thank you to this wonderful man! Youve been spotted!
To the kind gentleman at the St.Clair Beach Zehr's,
Thank you so much for your kindness in loading my full cart of groceries onto the grocery belt while my 2 year old slept on my shoulder!
Thank you for taking the time to help me out so I didn't have to put down my little guy who wasn't feeling well.
You were so sweet to chat about your granddaughter & your trip and even offer to take them to my car for me.
I can't thank you enough for your thoughtfulness!
Thank you to the wonderful woman in the truck ahead of me at the Macdonald's drive thru at Wyandotte and Pillette this morning around 6:50 am. When I went to pay the cashier told me you had paid for my order this morning. I was just want to give you a big "Thank You". This made for a great morning. Thank You Once Again.
My dad has spent the last 10 months in the hospital. While he was staying at met bosoitslcon the 4th floor respiratory he had an amazing nurse named sarah. Well all of his nurses were amazing on that floor but sarah was special to my dad. Well now with him finally being able to go home we have been trying to reach out to sarah to talk to her. I did visit the floor today but she was not working. If anyone knows her please let her know that we are trying to get in touch with her. If it helps she has a twin sister that works on the oncology side of the 4th floor as well. Hoping someone will be able to help! My dad's name is Mr macpherson. Thanks so much !
I was having a pretty rough day, money is tight and it's been very hard over the last few months to be paying my bills on time. I was at home and a young gentleman knocked on my door, when I opened it he introduced himself and said he was running as the PC candidate for Windsor and he wanted to know if I had any questions or concerns. Right away I got annoyed and was a bit rude to him. But instead of him leaving, he looked me straight in the face and apologized for what I was going through and told me that he was born and raised in Windsor and he was so hurt by how much people were suffering from the decisions others had made. He said he would do anything in his power to bring change to Windsor and that at any time I could contact him with my concerns. He was such a friendly and pleasant young man and I could tell how genuine he was. Thank you Adam for listening to me and not being offended when I was unnecessarily rude to you and thank you for spending that extra time with me so that you would walk away only after I had laughed and had a smile on my face. I wish you all the best.
To the lady that came to my door today to say my Dog was out of the yard, Thank You so much, I feel terrible that I didn't thank you at the time I was so freaked out. Thank you for making sure she was in the yard. You've been spotted.
Thank you to the generous lady we met in Walmart East Supercentre on Friday, March 17th @ 6:00ish. I was busy shopping for shoes for my three daughters when she approached us and was talking with my kids. She briefly shared stories with them and mentioned she came from a family of three girls too. My youngest daughter showed her the new shoes she picked out for school. She said they were lovely and surprisingly put a twenty dollar bill inside to pay for them. I respectfully thanked her and stated it was not necessary. She insisted and told me that she has come into money and wanted to pay it forward. She then unexpectedly gave my twin girls each $20 to spend on shoes too. My daughters gave the kind lady a hug and said thank you. Thank you for showing my daughters such remarkable kindness and generosity. We will continue to look for opportunities to pay it forward. Feeling blessed!
This afternoon, my in-laws took my family to the McDonald's restaurant on Dougall Ave. as part of a March Break outing. Suddenly, my youngest son, who has severe autism, became very overwhelmed by the busy surroundings and began to cry uncontrollably. We did get some unhappy or uncomfortable stares from people, but I want to focus on the people who showed understanding and kindness during this difficult time for my son.
First, to the lady who passed by on her way out the door, and gave me a sympathetic smile: Thank you. Even so simple a gesture made me feel less judged, and made me feel more encouraged to keep trying new outings with him.
Second, to the lady who came over to our table and talked to us: I thank you for trying to interact with my boy, and speaking so gently to him. I sensed you are a religious person, and although I am not religious myself, I appreciated your attempts to understand us and your offers of help. It was kind of you to offer my son a little religious medallion to hold. You also offered to watch my older son while I went out to check on my overwhelmed little boy who had to be taken to a quieter place by his grandpa. We had other family there to help, but this kind offer touched my heart.
Finally, to the McDonald's staff member who came and tried to help us have a happier experience: I did not expect that, and was so impressed at how above and beyond you went. You came and tried to soothe my very upset little guy. You offered him some toys, and then some ice cream. He ended up having to go outside, but you still brought 3 ice cream cones to our table, and I later brought one out for him and Grandpa to share. When we thanked you, you said you just wanted everyone to have a good experience at your restaurant. Thank you for showing such thoughtfulness. He did enjoy his ice cream (albeit out in the van), and his siblings got a nice treat, too. Thank you for making us feel welcome and accepted at your location.
Sometimes, it's very tough to bring our neurodiverse children out into a neurotypical world. I'm grateful that awareness and acceptance is growing. But really, something as simple as a kind look can make all the difference to us.
