I received a RAK (Random Act of Kindness) today
I was out running all my errands w/ both of my kiddos. My youngest is 2. Well, she had an accident. Not a little one but a big one. I'll leave the TMI out of it but she christened a chair in the library and our local branch here doesn't have a public restroom. Some kind sole of a lady gave me a spare set of clothes (sweats and a t-shirt). I offered to launder them and bring them back to her but she said don't worry about it.
Wasn't that so nice!

It does my heart good to hear stories like this. We have been blessed before and try to pay it forward every chance we get. Thanks for sharing.....

How very sweet! I've been wondering, what part of the Central Coast do you live in? I'm in Ventura County.

That was nice of her. I don't think any mom with kids could have turned her back on you guys! Thanks for sharing!

I can't over the fact there was no bathroom at the library. I guess I take it for granted. Wasn't it a coincidence that someone had a change of clothing for your daughter? Nice story, thanks for sharing.

What a nice lady!
Your library doesn't have a restroom? What nutcase designed that building?

That was so nice. My grandson did that in a resturant when he was around 9 m old, and oh gosh we had to carry him through the place.
