I work 3rd shift monitoring the machines at a tourist attraction.
A great start to what could have been a lonely day.

I went in today for the first time - someone made a log book. I'm crying.

The 3 McDonald’s restaurants in that area flew their flags at half-mast in his honor. Such a beautiful gesture.

I worked a 12-hour shift today and he fed me three times and made me a sandwich to take home. He's an angel walking among us.

Instead, my coworkers presented me with this care package to comfort my sister through chemo, a hand-painted card & a $750 donation.

Instead, this was waiting for me when I got to work. Truly made my day and was quite delicious!

Apparently, she seemed completely fine on Sunday, but Monday she was gone. As anyone who has experienced the loss of a beloved pet knows, it can be traumatizing, especially when you have no time to prepare for it. She missed work on Monday (I would've taken it off too) and then told my wife about it yesterday.
 
My wife being the sweet person she is came home later that day and told me the sad news, then got out our iPad and started working on the picture above. She claims she has no art talent, but I think she did a pretty great job. The ears on the top are an outline of Lucy's ears.

I work with this amazing gentleman that spends his breaks and lunches making these beautiful boxes for charity auctions (I know - so sweet!) He took me aside to show me his first box of 2020, and I asked him if he’d be interested in my dad’s old leather coat since I’m having a hard time getting rid of his stuff. Well, today he brought me this black walnut box made with the leather from my dad’s favorite jacket. It brightened up the office and all of us were so touched. What a sweet man!! This is such a cherished thing for me. Yes, I am definitely making him an authentic British shepherds pie and some English treats to thank him (he’s English, but we live in Canada). I hope this cheers you all up during this dreary and frightening time! Good people exist everywhere!

One of the most heartfelt birthday gifts I’ve ever gotten.

He is a very sweet elderly man. Since he and my mom are such good friends, he made her this.

Additional info: It's a control line plane, it flies in a big circle, it's not a remote control. You have a handle and two steel cables to control the elevator, pull the top of the handle back the plane goes up, push it down it goes down, do it wrong it crashes violently. 
 
Yes, I work at a wonderful place with some terrific people and consider most of them dear friends. 
 
He mentioned that he was building planes with his kids, and I showed him a lo-res version of that old picture I had received from my daughter. He contacted my daughter, got the hi-res, then acquired all the parts necessary to build the plane over several months (the propeller came from Uzbekistan). Then, surprise!

I literally thought you had to be lucky to get charms. He dropped these in my office today.

They got my size and everything. $179 I just could not afford at the moment.
 
Everyone wears them in the company. Also, they are the best!
 
I’ve been struggling with my old pair and just had a week off with a planter wart in my heel. It was removed but I’ve been unable to fully walk properly for a while.

Was supposed to be celebrating my honeymoon with my wife in Italy this week. Extremely thankful!

The card says: "Hey Boo! Okay, so I might have felt awful when you told me that you would walk all the way home from work, so I set up a GoFundMe (don't worry, I didn't use exact names). I managed to raise a bunch of money, hoping you could set it aside for a car, but now maybe it can help fix yours now. Merry Christmas!"
