Another act of kindness...bigger than last night ...but there are no acts of kindness better, they are all important. And brought on by God. Two ladies are talking back and forth...I'm trying my best to listen.
I get a word here and there. She gets up to check out ...I ask her how she's doing....She looks up with tear stained eyes but with a big smile. “I'm doing so good now.” she tells me her story. She is from Kentucky ...she has saved up for two years to make this vacation happen for her, her husband ,their daughter, her mom and her husband's mom and dad. She rented a condo for a week, and paid everything up front. They get here to the condo and there is no record of the rental or the money paid. They go through the mad, the pleading the argument but the desk clerk can do nothing. There has been a scam going on here, it was in the paper. She had fallen victim. All her money and vacation gone. They leave the lobby and as they do they hold the door open for a little old lady coming in with the aid of a cane. Still crying she holds the door open. The family gets back into the van ready for the trip back home. The desk clerk catches them as they are backing out. She tells them their vacation is paid for and hands them the keys to their room. Heck, I want to hug her...every body in line wants to hug her...but we don't...we all try and hold back the tears.
