Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
To the mother who pulled mother duty on me. I'm attending the University and currently suffering from a bad flu/ cold. When I was at the clinic I was on the phone with my mom speaking french telling her how I wish she lived closer so she could help take care of me. This lady sitting at the clinic overheard me and understood me. When I hung up she asked how I was doing and explained she heard me say I wish my mom was here to help me get better. I explained how much easier it was to get over a cold when you have a mothers touch. We talked some more and she gave me some advice. We exchanged numbers cause she wanted to follow up to see if it helped. The next day she calls me and hears how bad my voice was and asked how I'm feeling. We talked for a bit and she said she wanted to bring me some soup it will help. I gave her my address and she showed up with tea and soup from timmies. She stayed for a bit and helped to pick up somethings around my 1 bedroom apartment and stayed with me for a bit to keep me company. What a sweet lady and so very generous. Knowing I lived alone and knowing I really didn't know too many people in windsor. She made time to come pull some mother duties to help a stranger. Thank you Rosanne for caring so much. She called again to follow up and i told her I'm much better today.some great people out here in this city.
This morning at the medical lab in the Ziter building on Howard, the waiting room was packed full of people waiting for tests. A gentleman entered the room and was clearly suffering and having issues moving around. He went to the window to check in and let the receptionist know he was suffering. He was told he'd have to wait. You could tell by others faces that they were annoyed by his complaints and they too had been waiting for long. Finally, a lovely woman stepped up and traded her spot with this sick man. She was so humble. She ended up waiting an extra 40 min for her kind act! There should be more people like this lady in our city.
I would like to thank the awesome paramedic who brought me a tea from Tim's while I was waiting in the ER with one of the gentlemen I support. I was running off a bagel from breakfast and had no time to grab anything while rushing to the ER. Thank you for your kind gesture, you have been spotted! :)
I also want to spot the elderly man who came up to me in the ER tonight after observing me for quite some time providing comfort to the gentleman I support. He commanded me for being an excellent care giver, gave me a pat on my back and told me to keep up the amazing work and that he wishes their were more people like me.
Being a psw I don't get much recognition for my hard work, you sir made my entire night. Thank you for your kind words, you helped me get through the long night I had. I will never forget what you said to me, I was holding back my tears. Ps. I hope your wife is feeling better :)
To the amazing brown haired boy at the Spitfire Game Saturday Evening. I watched you ask two veterans if they would like a coffee and that you were buying after they got done selling poppies. There should be more children like you in this world who give selflessly to others. It warned my heart to see you do this :) you have been spotted!
To the very caring Walmart shopper who decided to spark up a conversation in the formula isle at Walmart on Tecumseh Road on October 24th. Thank you for noticing how much trouble i was having with trying to pick the right formula for my daughter and her sensitive tummy. You left me speechless when you offered to give me multiple containers of Similac Partially Broken Down formula and gave me your number. When we got together later on that night so i could take the formula off your hands i had no idea that you have 3 mini sized cans of Partially Broken Down formula as well as 3 mini Similac Advanced cans. On top of all of that, you sold me a regular sized can of Similac advanced for only $20 and gave me 6 formula samples that come in the mail with coupons, and a personal headband that you had made. That was more then i could have ever asked for. It is people like you that restore my hope in society. If you ever read this, i wanted you to know how greatful i am. And that without a doubt, i will pay it forward. Wishing you the best - Walmart mommy.
This morning I was waiting to see the doctor with a sick 2 year old who doesn't like a trip to the doctor in the best circumstances. A very sweet young lady, who was also waiting to see the doctor, came over and tried to distract him with a Cars game on her phone, talked to him about his train collection, and offered him paper and pencils to draw a picture. Then another mom offered him some fish crackers and candy she had been carrying for her own son. Rather than being annoyed at being stuck in a waiting room with a crying toddler these strangers offered kindness and comfort to my son which really warmed my heart.
To the person who called an ambulance for my son when he was having a seizure at Mcdonalds in Tecumseh on Thursday. Thank you. I know you are probably wondering how he is doing. He is still in the hospital but he will be fine. I very much appreciate that you were looking out for him.
Last night I went to Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital to be with my mom who was rushed in. I parked my car at the 3 hour parking lot but the machine wouldn't take bills, only exact change. A gentleman pulled in at the same time. He didn't have enough to break my five so I ran to emerge to check on my mom and get change. When I came back, there was a paid ticket waiting under a rock on the machine. There were no other cars in the lot other than mine, the gentleman and the one other car in the lot when we arrived. So to that gentleman, whoever you are, it must've been you. I wanted to simply say thank you. I had hoped you were still there when I was leaving so I could leave a note on your windshield but you had left already. That was a very thoughtful thing to do and very much appreciated.
