[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 179810, member: 138"] A personal story: If I am not mistaken, I have shared this earlier here many years ago, but it deserves re-telling. In Sept.1998, I bought a gas station in Henderson, NV, just on the outskirts of Las Vegas, the most famous place of pilgrimage for the nice to become naughty. Where the emperors and emperoresses declothe themselves from the inside out in all aspects. It is a place to loosen yourself amongst the neons in order to get lost. I was new to this business. After two days, a lady by the name of Barbara in her late 60's shows up. She told me that her SS check would arrive in three days but she was out of cigarettes and if I could give her credit for that long. She also said that she had a sick mum at home. To give credit to the unknown makes no business sense but that was not the thought that came to mind. My mind said to me that if this lady does not have cigarettes, it means she has no food at home either. I told Barbara that I would only give her credit if she also took eggs, milk, bread and anything else she needed for her mum to eat. Tears started flowing through her eyes. She was startled by my reaction. She came for a $10.00 credit and I was ready to give her a lot more. She took the stuff, came after three days, paid me back and took some more things. This routine continued. She had 2 sons Pete and Mark whose father was an Alaskan Indian by birth and had died. The natives from Alaska get money from the oil revenues which these 2 kids never shared a penny with their mum but spent on drinking cheap booze. As Barbara was not Alaskan, she depended on her SS check to survive. Two weeks after the first incident, Barbara comes to the store, pays for what she owed, buys some more stuff and then hands me a bag and tells me it is for me. I opened it. It was a beautiful crochet blanket which she made for me. I thanked her and hugged her. Her sons told me that she worked for hours a day to finish it. She wanted to do that for me. I got it dry-cleaned and still use it after Sukhasan on the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Here, one can also talk about jooth and s[U]u[/U]ch because she was a smoker and how dare I use the blanket on SGGS. I show it with great pride to all who come and re-tell the whole story again and again feeling gleeful with every word that comes out. Unfortunately, she had to move from the neighbourhood but she used to take 3 buses just to come to see me. She passed away some years ago and I was able to arrange a fundraiser for her funeral where I had the opportunity to share this wonderful bond created by her love and caring nature. Only a few people like Barbara can possess this type of kindness and gratitude and I am the lucky one to get a bit of its fragrance. It makes me think of her with a wide smile every night while I am doing Sukhasan. Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
