My doggo Gemma has days left, her kidneys are failed. So we're doing her favourite things like doing to parks, local shops to sniff things. But we are extremely slow. A lady stopped by and said "aww so sweet. How old?" I said we don't know, she's a rescue, but possibly 16, she only has a few days. The lady told me her dog is being put down this next week. Then she...

To the man who just saved Christmas.. I can't express what you've just done for my boys and I. I was soo embarrassed at the counter of Woollies when I found out that the old real estate took 2 weeks rent. I havent lived there for 3 months. It's left my account overdrawn and I was putting my shopping back when he stepped up and paid for my whole shop. This included 2 toys for my boys for...

An Old Friend

By Joseph J. Mazzella on December 21, 2022 / 3,246 views

It was a month or so ago. I was at a tire dealership getting new tires put on my car before winter weather set in. It was a long wait so I settled into a chair with my book when suddenly I heard a voice that I hadn’t heard in many years. An old friend from grade school had recognized me. I certainly didn’t recognize him at first. He had white hair and a white beard now. The last time I’d seen...

Human Angels

Thank you to the "Human Angels" (looked like the guys from ZZTop) who got my car free from a parking garage medium. I was ready to call AAA to help me get unstuck from the medium I somehow straddled trying to get out of Barnes West Hospital Garage to get my partner from the hospital! These guys heard me and saw my situation and immediately without hesitation asked me to get out...

A Christmas Moment

By Joseph J. Mazzella on December 14, 2022 / 3,340 views

It was a rainy, December day 30 years ago. A cold hung in the air that chilled you to the bones. I was even wishing the temperature would drop a few more degrees so at least it would snow. My wife and I were standing in a line at a volunteer fire department building with our two year old daughter, Beth. It was going to be her first time meeting Santa and my wife had brought her camera along to catch the...

While leaving a shop I overhead a conversation between a staff member and a lady who was looking to enter the store with her black Labrador. The staff member was apologising that the dog was not permitted to enter ( it wasn't a support dog). The lady turned to leave. I called out to her to wait and offered to dog-sit while she shopped. She was surprised, and half jokingly asked if I...

My daughter and all the junior students had a Movieworld trip on Tuesday 6th December. She excitedly told me that while her and her group of friends (about 8 students) were waiting for their ride at Wild Wild West. Not in any hurry, they've allowed a family that seemed to be holidaying on the GC, jump in front of the queue. This family was forever thankful and offered to buy my daughter and all...

It really made my day for a stranger to tell me that the pants I were wearing looked fabulous on me. What a lovely thing to say. By the end of the night at the theatre, I had several more compliments. Sufficient to say, my new green, sequin pants are now my...

A very kind person this afternoon paid for my daughter's sleep over snacks after she discovered she'd lost her card somewhere in the park today. Having a slight panic attack she was going to put everything back until a beautiful man stepped up and said he'd pay for it! So thank you whoever you are kind...

A worker from Bunnings at Rothwell accompanying an older lady to her car. They were having a lovely conversation and he didn't seem to mind that it took her a bit longer. Well done to this young man for his kindness and compassion, he should be very proud of the person that he is. I would also like to say to Bunnings Warehouse Australia that this staff member's is a superstar and...
