Boomer 33202 Report post Posted September 10, 2012 I'm really very fortunate to have made a number of good friends through CERB, and I think I'm not unique. I know of a number of situations where client and provider have unselfishly helped one another under difficult situations. I'm a bit anxious today as I'm going in for eye surgery tomorrow, and had been told that I wouldn't be allowed to leave unless I had someone there to see that I got home safely. This is a bit difficult as I'm a widower and live alone, my kids have long since left the nest. When I mentioned it to one of the service providers here, she graciously agreed to accompany me. As luck would have it I've been able to find someone a little closer to home, but none the less it shows that this lady has a big heart. I think we should award a gold star now and then for good deeds. So, I'd like to give Angela of Ottawa a gold star for being there for me. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CristyCurves 169032 Report post Posted September 10, 2012 Anyone that goes above and beyond kindness most assuredly deserves to be noted. She has been nice to me as well , so I too will thank her and I will sincerely say if you were here and reached out I would have helped, all you have to do is ask:icon_biggrin:.I wish you a good outcome, don't worry you'll be fine.

mrrnice2 157005 Report post Posted September 10, 2012 Good luck to you tomorrow Boomer with the eye surgery and kudos to Angela for helping you out as well. Having met Angela socially, and having seen and heard how she seems to be the big supporter and helper for so many of the women of Cerb, I am not in the least surprised that she has offered to help you out in this way. Yet another example of what a fine community of people that this is. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
