I wish I could find some way to loose weight. I have tried everything but having the surgery seeing I do not have the money to do that.

The random thoughtful act for which I was the recipient was not really random, but what I would call "above and beyond the call of duty". Last year, my sister was murdered, and I took custody of her two girls ages 9 and 13. This made the total kid count at my house at 5! The entire staff at the school where I taught, Wichita Falls High School, got onboard to help us. They gathered monetary donations, brought supplies, helped me create lesson plans, made donations to Hospice in my sister's honor, etc. The students even offered to babysit. The faculty got together and decided to bring food to the house on Tuesdays...EVERY Tuesday. For months, we were visited by what the kids called "The Food Fairies". They arrived at 6 p.m. at our door with a complete dinner. It's been a year, but the kids still fondly talk about the food fairies. I will forever be grateful to this group of people.

Thank you all for your wonderful thoughts and support. The ugly truth about my sister is that she was murdered by her husband, my nieces' father, who then shot himself. It's been a little over a year now, and we are all still struggling to readjust. One of the girls is deeply scarred and requires a great deal of treatment. I had to quit my beloved job at Wichita Falls High School, and I stay home to care for everybody now. The laundry for all of us is a full time job! The Kidd Kraddick family of listeners is a great group. Again, thanks everybody.

I'm sorry to hear about your sister. I must be really hard to move on yourself. Not only the kids but on you. Are you dtill having issues yourself. It is good to know that there family memebers out there like you that are willing to do what you have done. I wish you the best of luck and hope for only good things to happen for you the rest of your life.

It was the semester that Katrina hit. I was going through some extreme financial hardship. It was to the point where I thought I would have to drop out of school and get another job to try and catch up.
I saw a car pull into my drive way.
I went outside to see who it was, and caught a friend of mine leaving an envelope in my mail box.
The envelope read, "I hope this helps,"... inside was five hundred dollars.
At the time she wasn't a super close friend. We were in a class together and I had hung out with her improv group at her house a few times, but our freindship was not to the extent that would warent something like this.
That was one of the most random thoughtful things that someone has done for me.

I got into a wreck when I was 16 years old. My friend had fallen asleep at the wheel, and flew us over a hill and into a pine tree doing sixty miles an hour. It was three days before Christmas. This happened in the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday, so there was plenty of traffic, I mean, we were on a major highway. I was trapped in the car. We had hit the tree on my side so the whole front of a Mazda was on top of me. My memory is a bit hazy, but I remember wondering why no one had stopped to help yet. My friend in the driver's seat had a broken leg and a dislocated shoulder, and I had a broken leg, internal bleeding, a concussion, and I was trapped, so there was nothing we could do but sit and wait. Finally a car pulled over and a lady came, she got into the back seat of the car and calmed us down while we waited on EMS. She had a napkin and was wiping the blood off my face. I remember asking her if I was going to die because I kept coughing up blood. She just kept telling me that I was going to be fine, and trying to take my mind off of everything by chatting about my family and school. Finally the ambulance arrived to take my friend, and they stopped traffic on the highway to land the helicopter for me. I didn't have time to take an ambulance. It actually took them forty-five minutes to cut me out of the car. By that time my mom had made it to the scene, the same lady that had comforted me, held my mom in her arms while she watched her baby being cut out of a car. I have no idea who this woman was, but if it wasn't for her, I think I would probably be dead.
