Quote:Dear Santa's Little Helper ... on Tuesday you approached us while we were having a treat at Max Brenner. You put an envelope on our table and promptly left, barely a word spoken. I could not hold back the tears when I opened the card you left and read your thoughtful words. You acknowledged the beautiful behaviour of my child, who sat quietly eating chocolate strawberries and chatting to me and my friend. What you couldn't have possibly known, is that the child you took the time to acknowledge has recently been separately from their birth family. LIfe for a foster child is not easy, but through your kindness you have shown this amazing child the spirit of community. As a foster carer, I can't tell you how much your gift of kind words (and $5) means to us. Your random act of kindness towards us complete strangers has touched me deeply. I will treasure this memory for my lifetime. Thankyou.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
