Pay It Forward
PAYING IT FORWARD is an act of sharing and kindness with anyone ,friends or stranger. Though I try every day to practice this ,lately I have been the lucky one on the receiving end. This was amazing. After attending the Celebration Car Show with a few friends meeting some celebs as Johnny Bench , Chris Mcdonald and Donny Most,I was getting into the car and a poster that I have collected for years which hundreds of musicians had autographed, fell out of my bag and as if in slow motion fell to the street and rolled down into a drainage opening resting ten feet down looking as if gone forever. I still didn't panic but inside I was crushed.
Knowing I just couldn't give up, looking across the street was the town hall which was open due to the celebration and suggested to contact the FIRE DEPARTMENT which My buddy patiently went along on this impossible mission. When I explained my situation my new best friends MARGIE,KAYLA and ROSS followed me in their fire truck to the site that at first we thought was hopeless. But it seemed they all knew how special this piece was to me and came up with an ingenious plan . Making a makeshift device not worrying about getting dirty hooked it on the first try and brought it back to the street surface. They were terrific and even wanted to see and admire the piece as if they were my friends forever which they are now. Now the next morning I am still glowing on their kindness on PAYING IT FORWARD to someone they didn't know and as FIRST RESPONDERS are a special breed. We all should keep PAYING IT FORWARD as if you watch TV or read the papers . Our World sure needs more Love and Kindness!
Fantastic story. Could only happen to you. :)
