It takes a true friend, and a generous heart to do something without any need or desire for personal recognition. I know many people (including myself, at times) who do things like this (pay for meals, etc. ) for others "just because". We say it's selfless and we do it to be generous, and make our friends happy, but we know that it is also for our personal satisfaction. So that our friends and others can see how kind, thoughtful, selfless we are but, to be able to give that without any need to "take credit" for it is inspiring and humbling. Thank you for sharing your story. I know i will use it to pay it forward.
