I would like all to know that the spirit of selfless kindness is alive and well in Whistler.
On Thursday, July 20, I picked up a package at the post office that proved to be a very heavy box, too heavy for me to carry to my parked car.
The nice post office lady brought a dolly, but I knew the box would be too heavy for me to lift off the counter or into my trunk.
At that point a young man behind me in line, a total stranger to me, said, “I’ll carry it for her,” and he did! Out to my car parked by the drug store and into the trunk.
I offered him a reward, but he refused. How kind was this? So I told him I would pay it forward.
Not 30 minutes later at the supermarket, a young lady ahead of me in line had a card that refused to work and insufficient cash to pay. So I bought her groceries for her.
I tell you this not in any spirit of self-aggrandizement, but because I want that sweet young man—if he is even reading this—to know that I did pay it forward, and that I was blown away by his kindness. Thank you. And how good is it to know there are people like him in our town?
