    Default I'm gonna cry...just had to share this...

    So, I've had a best friend, Caren, since I was 8 years old. Spent every summer at her house, grew up together, shared everything, and we are still best friends.

    Well said best friend lives in San Antonio where I'm moving (YAYYYYY)....

    And....she called me today and told me that her mom called her today and told her that she wanted her to tell me that she and best friends dad had been talking and wondered if I would mind/be offended/feel impeeded on if they helped me out with getting furniture for my apartment when I move.

    Oh em gee.

    I was perfectly content with my new apartment and the fact that I was going to be sitting in my empty apartment with nothing but my tv, laptop, and a sleeping bag, and some paper plates until I could get on my feet and get a few furniture items a little at a time.

    I get so blown away by some people's kindness, and that people would care so much about little old me is so touching. These are the same people who bought me new school clothes for high school because my family couldn't afford any and we'd had uniforms in middle school. The same people who fixed up a car for me, and gave it to me after I got my liscense - after they paid to put me through driver's ed. The same people who would sneak me a 100 dollar bill at Christmas to buy presents. The same people who paid almost $4000 the summer after my Junior year so that I could go on the school's trip to Europe with Caren.

    I feel so loved, and grateful, and pleased that people like this exist.

    Just wanted to share.

    Pooks might not have to sleep on the floor after all.

    Good for you Pooka, you deserve it!! And when you make some money, go Ikea shopping, it's like a students dream furniture store. I love all the little things on the bottom floor and their furniture is cool too.

    That's so fabulous! When I read your subject line, I thought it would be bad news.

    Awww Pooka, that is really wonderful. The capacity of human beings for kindness and generosity is something I don't always think about enough, and I like hearing stories like this to remind me that there is a quiet and selfless good at work in the world.

    That's awesome Pooka!! When I moved into my very first apartment, I was flat broke and had NO furniture. I didn't even get a bed until about a month before I moved out! I ended up buying a couch for $40 at a garage sale and used it as a bed, and all two pieces of furniture I had came from the Dollar store!!
    It's so amazing that you've got people who care so much about you, don't let them go!!!

    That totally brought a tear to my eye. You should bake them a cake or cupcakes from your new place. They're so sweet.

    You're lucky you have such good friends and chosen-family.... I know how much it can mean when you have a big move coming up! When i moved cross country, it was everything in the world to me having my manager/friend(and second mom- she was widowed, three kids, and pretty much adopted me when i lived there) take me to the train station with my bags(i didn't have a car) and hug and cry good bye. Having someone looking out for you is the greatest feeling in the world!

    Here's hoping the move goes well!

    Just don't get a bed at IKEA! I love 99.9% of their stuff; they're great for desks, shelves, tables, chairs, sofas...but their beds are crap.

    And...AWWWW! That's so sweet that they're getting you furniture!

    Wow, it is so refreshing after a day of dealing with selfish people to read this and be reminded that there are some really nice, kind, and generous people in the world. I'm glad you have these people in your life.
