This was a sweet, inspiring, and uplifting story. I would like to think I would do the same thing should the circumstance arise. Thank you for sharing this here, and best wishes to you.

I'm sure he would have been proud of you, Terry. It's a nice thing to be able to do and ducking down the aisle so that someone won't pay you back afterward isn't a bad thing. :)
A sweet read :)

Comment from T B Botts
Hi Terry,
What a great way to start off the holiday season, a story of the true meaning of Christmas. Well done. I'm sorry I'm fresh out of sixes. It's heartwarming to hear of such acts of generosity. Of course throughout the world people are meeting the needs of those less fortunate, it's just not seen, but when it's evident, and acknowledged, it does a world of good. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

This is a beautiful, meaningful, and heartwarming Christmas story of generosity and sharing. We all give gifts to our family and friends, but to give to a stranger during his time of need is what Christmas is all about. Best wishes in the contest.

Just a beautifully told story. I never know what is true or not true in your storytelling arena. However, this was for me a touching tale. it made me a bit misty. There is something about reading these types of goodwill stories that touches the hearts of most who long for more people like your speaker in our world. Thank you for sharing this story.

Comment from amahra
Oh, this was a delightful read. And it was true. Wow! I hear stories like this a lot of times. And it makes me wonder where in the heck are those people who discover the 'worst case senario' and think that's the buff of mankind? Just where those who claim that are when these good deeds are reported is beyond me. But thank you for adding this story of goodness and kindness to my list.

It always good to discover random acts of kindness. Thank you for sharing.
The fella next to me, (fella beside me)
I was standing next to him at the Walgreens (standing beside him)
When I got in my car, I thought, why did you do that? (capital 'w' on 'why')

Comment from Soledadpaz
Two sides of one coin. A human interest story from two perspectives. Nicely done.
This seems more of a case of paying it forward. Doing for others as was done for you. What a world that would be!

Comment from Mary Vigasin
This is a heartwarming story, Terry. When you think about a Christmas bonus, we think of getting an extra check. Here you told a wonderful tale of a different type of bonus, one for the old man to get help for his prescription and for the donor who did not want to be found.
To me, it has an O'Henry quality.
So very well done.
Best wishes,
Mary

Comment from Spitfire
This is a great story and reminds me of some I just read in the Christmas issue of Reader's Digest. You are really good at building up a story, Terry, and adding a neat ending.
