Thanks for sharing a turning point in your life. Growing up in a home of cotton mill workers I know what hard times are. So good to hear someone let you know that there are good folk that are willing to help others. God Bless

Very good read. What you do comes back to you, I bet being in your shoes isn't bad.

Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. Things like the generosity of the man that gave you the gift touches the heart. I am sure it made him feel as good to help a young man out as it made you feel to receive the gift. Once again, many thanks for sharing with us.
