Would you have done the same ??

[PinkFizz]

As you all know I am moving house in 7 days.Well I have boxes full of clothes the kids have grown out of,almost new games and toys and didn't know what to do with them all.
There is a woman in my road that everybody detests - she is foul mouthed,abusive,vulgar and and she has 2 kids she can barely cope with.She spreads evil rumours about everbody including me.Well 2 months ago she was diagnosed with cancer and has been very ill.Now the last time I saw her in the road she was f***ing and blinding at her neighbour as usual.

Well I decided to bite the bullet as its xmas and knock on her door to offer her these things as I know she has hardly two pennies to rub together.When she answered I was a bit taken aback as she has lost all her hair now(chemo) and yet said i was moving and would she like a few bits in my car.She followe me out and when I showed her she burst into tears ,gave me a huge hug and said she couldnt thank me enough as she couldnt even afford to buy a turkey this year,let alone presents.
I came home feeling very humble and tearful.

[tradey]

yep i would,god and for her to cry maybe shes not as hard as you all think,bet she was over the moon with them how nice of you to do a thing like that if i could give you a hug myself i would

[Pippa68]

Well I think some people need a little love & compassion in order to give it..and this may well have been her problem.

That was a lovely thing for you to do :o)

[B00]

Awww bless- she's obviously not as hard as she makes out. She sounds like she's had a hard life and is STILL having a tough time of it. Being loud and a bully is her way of coping with it all.

What a lovely thing you did- bet you feel all warm and fuzzy now huh?

[##Wardy##]

Pinky to answer your question, I would not have done the same thing. But all that aside, I admire your spirit and forgiveness. Even though she sounds like an old Welsh fish wife, her kids have no choice.

As Tiny Tim once said in Scrooge. "God bless each and every one of them"

[raysparx1]

That is great pink, she may have had things really tough in the past, and some people build a wall to hide behind, none of us knows what goes on behind closed doors, a gesture like you have made might change her life, there is allways a reason people behave the way they do. xx

[Octavius]

Yes I would have done the same.

[PinkFizz]

Hi guys - yes I have hated this woman for years for the way she has ran the road down,made every summer a misery with her screaming till all hours at her kids,the dog,the neighbours etc,but when she answered the door she looked so frail with just a few wisps of hair and sunken eyes that it really shocked me. I would hate to be in her shoes and so just doing that silly gesture might have cheered her up for an hour.

[4getmenot]

Awww meybe she's scrooge and you have now been the ghost of xmas future for her. Bless.

[joby1]

I probably wouldnt have done the same, I'd have probably given the stuff to the charity shop, as I normally do.

But reading this, theres two little kids in our street, who (even now ffs!) play out in t shirt's and no shoes, don't know what the mothers problem is, so maybe next time I'll think twice. It was a nice thing to do, x

[loulou32]

I agree, you should feel proud of yourself X

[Theland]

The fact is, YOU got more out of it than she did.
It's great to give.

[druiaghtagh]

What a heart warming story, good for you pinkfizz, very kind gesture

[noxlumos]

Yeah I'd have done the same, but you're a darlin Pink and that's the first nice thing that's happened today and it's made me fell all "Good will to all men" and Christmassy, so it's catching as well. Love ya :)

[Hellion]

I'd like to think I'd have done the same Pink.
A huge big hug to you for being a lovely person. I believe that each act (good or bad) will come back to you three times over so you are going to have fantastic 2007!

Well done Pink!!! I heard a long time ago that when someone is behaving their worst they need love and understanding the most. You looked past her bad behavior and showed her kindness. Not only she, but the children will benefit from your generosity and your generosity of spirit. Merry Christmas from this old Southern USA lady.

[chitchat]

Pink - I wouldn't have done what you did, but I admire you for doing it. I am not as nice as you. It did make me think though, there is good in everyone, we just need to help it come through.

[chicklin]

That's a perfect example of a kind deed benefiting the giver as much as the receiver. She obviously really appreciated your kindness and it made you feel good too. I'd like to think I'd do the same as you did. Good on you, Pink. Have a lovely Christmas too.
