The Nicest Man In The World

We all know them, but we tend not pay too much attention these folk unless we really need them.

We’re not close to these people on a daily basis, but we’re always a bit surprised when they ask us if we’re okay, because we’re never expecting them to do so.

And, our usual stock answer is, “Yeah, we’re fine, thanks for asking!”, since that’s the response they’re usually looking for.

However, it’s when we say, “Well, no, not so much”, it’s clear that we need help, LOL! ;*)

When they spring into action to take care of us…to do good things that surprise the hell out of me…it makes me believe more in the ultimate goodness of human nature.

He didn’t have to do this for us…he didn’t have to replace the entire deal on his heating system on a Saturday afternoon to make sure that we’d be warm on Saturday night. He could have easily said, “No, I’ll take care of it tomorrow”, but he’s not that kind of guy.

And, despite his age, he did! He took care of the problem (with our help), installed it himself, and personally made sure that we were nice and warm.

It’s all about people, it really is.
