| A story about giving that i have to share
He almost didn't see the old lady, stranded on the side of the road.
But even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he
pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still
sputtering when he approached her. Even with the smile on his face, she
was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so ... was
he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.
He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold.
He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you.
He said, "I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car
where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan."
Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad
enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the
jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change
the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and
began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was
only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to
her aid. Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. She asked him how
much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She
already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he
not stopped.
Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him.
This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty who
had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way,
and it never occurred to him to act any other way. He told her that if
she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who
needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and
Bryan added, "And think of me."
He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a
cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home,
disappearing into the twilight.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to
grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg
of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two
old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The cash register
was like the telephone of an out-of-work actor -- it didn't ring much.
The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair.
She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole
day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight
months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her
attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be
so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan.
After the lady finished her meal, and the waitress went to get change
for her hundred dollar bill, the lady slipped right out the door. She
was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered
where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the
napkin under which were four $100 bills.There were tears in her eyes
when she read what the lady wrote: "You don't owe me anything. I have
been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you.
If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this
chain of love end with you."
Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people
to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when
she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the
money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how
much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it
was going to be hard.
She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to
her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, "Everything's
gonna be all right. I love you, Bryan."

| Let me show you guys a real real real example of the most lovely couple in the world on this Valentines day....
Eternal Embrace
ROME (Reuters) - Call it the eternal embrace.
Archaeologists in Italy have discovered a couple buried
5,000 to 6,000 years ago, hugging each other.
"It's an extraordinary case," said Elena Menotti, who led
the team on their dig near the northern city of Mantova.
"There has not been a double burial found in the Neolithic
period, much less two people hugging -- and they really are
hugging."
Menotti said she believed the two, almost certainly a man
and a woman although that needs to be confirmed, died young
because their teeth were mostly intact and not worn down.
"I must say that when we discovered it, we all became very
excited. I've been doing this job for 25 years. I've done digs
at Pompeii, all the famous sites," she told Reuters.
"But I've never been so moved because this is the discovery
of something special."
A laboratory will now try to determine the couple's age at
the time of death and how long they had been buried.
