Sometimes you find blessings where you lease expect it...My dad is currently in the hospital undergoing Brain surgery for a bleed.  Scary times for my entire family.  On one visit to th ICU I took my brother who is  27 years old and mentally challenged.  I was sitting in the ICU waiting room and I asked him if he wanted to go back and see Daddy...  He refused as he is scared to see him in a hospital setting.  I tried explaining to him that dad was awake and alert, he still refused and kept working on his IPAD.  I looked over and noticed a lady watching us.  She asked my brother " What are you looking at?"  I replied as he is hard to understand if you do not know him.  "he's on ebay".  The lady asked what he was looking for and I explained to her that right now he is obsessed with Buccees and was looking for a Buccees stuffed animal.  I explained that my dad was on a road trip with family when he became ill so we had to rush home and couldn't stop at Buccees.   To make a long story as short as possible, this woman's brother showed up at the ICU the next day with not only a Buccees Stuffed animal but a Buccees keychain as well !!   I was so touched, here this woman's mother was in the ICU and she took the time to go to Buccees and get my brother a gift.   They refused to take any money from me and were very pleased when I also told them my brother just happened to collect key chains!!  Iwas able to get the ladies cell phone number and that night I sent her a pic of my brother sleeping with the stuffed animal...   She texted back - "Awe, that makes my heart smile....if you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask!!!!!"Such a wonderful thing to do, I hope I get a chance to pay if forward !!!!Anyway I thought some may appreciate a feel good story.  PS  -   Please keep my dad in your thoughts and or prayer.... 4951

@GoldenGirl:
Sweet story. I like how she got your brother a key chain, without knowing he collected them...That was God for sure Emoticon All good things come from God. Prayers for you all.
