Small Acts of Kindness

This has been a heck of a week.  We've been hit hard with a stomach virus.  It started Wednesday night with E-Ray.  He threw up all night long.  Then yesterday it was me.  Today, Hubs came home sick from work and E-Ray threw up again.  A friend of mine mentioned the BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) diet for when you're getting over a stomach virus, so I had to make a run to the store.  As I was pulling out of the driveway our exterminator arrived.  I told him I was headed to the store to get some food for my sick family.  He handed me a few Halloween goody bags and I was on my way.  When I returned, I noticed that he had put the garbage bins away for us (today is trash day) and he had left a little note on our invoice saying he hopes everyone gets better soon.  Such a simple act of kindness, but it was very appreciated.  He has been servicing our home for a number of months and is always so friendly and really goes above and beyond, so today, I wrote the company to let them know what a fantastic employee they have.  The company is Home Shield Pest Control, and I highly recommend them; well, I at least highly recommend Taylor at the Virginia Beach office.  :)

Wow...that's a really sweet story. I hope you all are feeling better soon! We've been hit with some crazy cold/flu up here as well, and those little things really make a difference when it hits everyone at once.
