Gunnar's experience with Robin was a reminder of how great most people are when given the chance. All of us have been enriched by the experience.

Here's my own experience with someone's generosity.

On my move from Massachusetts to Arizona we passed through Lincoln, Nebrasksa. We had gotten a late start that day so it about 12:30 in the morning when we pulled into one of the pet friendly hotels in the city. As I approached the clerks desk I noticed a woman on the lobby phone. The clerk had the unfortunate task of telling me that the hotel was full and further, due to the regional Little League championship going on that week, all the hotels in Lincoln were full. So it's either 1 1/2 hours back the way we came, or 2 1/2 hours the way we were headed to the next hotel. All this time the woman on the phone was eavedropping which I found to be rather rude but I didn't say anything.

I thanked the clerk. He offered to let me fill me coffee thermos for free and wished me well. After getting the coffee I went to thank the clerk again for his kindness when the woman on the phone stopped me.

She apologized for eavesdropping and to my absolute astonishment, offered her room for us to stay in that nite. She had heard me talking to the clerk and told me that if she were in my position she hoped some one would help her. The only reason she even let me pay for the room was my company was reimbursing my expenses. Her and her daughter stayed on the sleeper couch while we got the bed. In the morning she told me one of dogs curled up with her on the couch and fell fast asleep. Something she used to do with her dogs.

Since then this sort of thing happens to me all the time. Not to this extent,but small stuff all the time.

What's your story?
