I was in a plastic modeling group and I decided to ask, because these guys are like model gurus ok anyway I asked if anyone knew of a model of the U.S.S. Antietam.that was one of the ships my daddy served on. And thought it would be cool to build it and put it on display! Well I received a few responses about who sold them etc. then I received a friend request so I checked him out and accepted. He proceeded to send me a text saying he had one and asked for my address?? I said well I don’t have any cash right now to by it… He basically tells me he didn’t ask me to buy it that he was an air force veteran and had the kit a long time and wanted it to go to someone it would mean something to….I was totally blown away by such generosity! Sure it’s “just” a model kit but it is so rare to find a true selfless and giving person it just floored me I was all chocked up and still kind of am! He kind of inspired me to try and be a better person. I am sorry for being so long winded but I had to share with those I love how a simple act of kindness by a total stranger can create such an overwhelming feeling of love and thankfulness! He is a hero to me!
