A couple of days ago I wrote a post on my blog “My World“. The post was about my husband wanting to go to the Rick Wakeman concert (ie the band YES) at the Danforth Music Hall. The concert is this Sunday, and tickets were expensive so he delayed purchasing a ticket and for all we know the tickets are now sold out.
This is the second time that I’ve written about a concert my husband wanted to go to, and it’s the second time that someone has come along and offered tickets to the event. Unbelievable.
There are a lot of bad things about the internet, but then there are good things like what happened after I wrote my post. A man who happened to have a spare ticket wrote to me and offered the ticket to my husband – for free. He read on my blog that we’d both been sick on and off and this was his way of paying it forward.
Chris talked with the man on the phone earlier today and the two hit it off. They’ll meet before the concert for a drink and then go to the concert together.
Now I’d better find a way to keep paying it forward so good thing will keep happening to us. 😉 Maybe I’ll donate to a good cause or a school like this one here, or randomly find someone posting about something that I’ll be able to help with like our kind stranger just did for my husband.
I am sometimes amazed by the generosity of strangers.
