I mentioned once on a facebook status that I didn't like what we had at home for me to bring to school for lunch, so I'd just skip lunch. The next day my friend put a paper bag lunch with my name on it on my desk. She didn't know that we didn't have any food at all for me to bring. Her kindness GMH. - GivesMeHope

*** Random OMG Fact ***

There are two golf balls sitting on the moon.

More info: On the first moon landing, US astronaut Alan Shepard swung a six iron four times. His first swing moved the ball less than a meter; his second swing missed and kicked up some dust. The third swing hit that same first ball about 200 yards - a slice. Then he dropped a second ball, and his fourth swing hit the ball about 400 yards.

*** Random LGMH Story ***

I am battling cancer. I was transferred to an out-of-state hospital for a liver resection. When I woke, I found my fiance beside me, 17 hours from home. I asked him why he had come, he said "The day we get married I want to be able to look you in the eye and have you know that when I say 'in sickness and in health,' I mean it."

Ask and it is given. Pride is good but if people don't know what you need they cannot help! I recently heard that a friend of mine was in court as she couldn't pay the rent (not her fault). It was a small sum and I lend it to her. but if the other friend who knew about it hadn't told me I couldn't have helped her and my friend and son would be homeless now... so be open and mention your situation a bit. nothing to be ashamed of and I am sure you will get more amazing surprises like the one you had. I always say when I invite friends or lend them money that you never know... in a few years it could be the other way round (hope not) or you can pay it forward then. I believe in miracles. keep up the faith! x
