Bridget What a kind thing to do, And no you didnt upset me at all. It made me feel slightly better if anything...... Rosi

Your kindness shines out, Bridget. Sounds to me like a very special person was chosen for a very special purpose.

Bridget, Thank you for sharing! Lindy xx

I too have read your post and im in tears. Bridget I have to agree with others you were meant to be there for him. We Lost mum 2 years ago and I just know you will have made this young man feel so much better, what lovely words you gave him.. Anita x

oh bridget im in tears now susie

Bridget, Thank you for sharing and giving us such a moving account. I am sure you helped ease the pain for a while. Hopefully he will now do the same if he sees someone in that situation. Hope all that are grieving at the moment, soon have more good days than bad ((hugs)) Jill xx

What lovely wise words you spoke to that young man. You really are a lovely lady. Shirley Ann.

Bridget, That was lovely of you, I bet that young man is wishing he had asked to keep in contact with you. I think fate did give a helping hand today and I wouldn't be at all surprised if your paths cross again. Take care Bridget. Love June xx

Rosie, Hope I did not upset you on your dear Dads Birthday. (((Hugs ))))) Derek and everyone feeling down just now. I have to admit I did not get to sleep untill 4.0 clock this morning thinking of the young man. Bridget x

I believe in fate, you were meant to be there for him. You will see him there on the same date next year... Deb

Bridget - he will feel that you were sent by his mammy - she would have known that he needed a hug - and she couldnt have chosen anyone better than you to do it. Having met you I know the warmth of your kindness - that young lad will never forget you . much love She xx

I’m sitting here in my office wiping my eyes after reading that. I’m a bit down because my much loved mother in law died suddenly a couple of weeks ago. After her funeral we went to the cemetery where her husband, who died many years ago, is buried. What a mess, no flowers anywhere and many headstones fallen over. Obviously most have been long forgotten, a really depressing site. In the middle of this we saw an elderly lady tending a small grave with a white headstone, Died 1951, age 1 year 4 months. Maybe time doesn’t heal too quickly. Derek.

Bridgit that was lovely.Can I tell you something ?now don't take offence,but I was waiting for a punch line.Honestly.I started reading it as a story not realising you were telling people what happened.I was waiting to hear he was up to no good or you were robbed or something.I was pleasently surprised to hear that a complete stranger could bring some comfort to someone.It seemed strangly more so because it was a man.I think thats what I found moving. Lovely..... Hop-a-long.

Bridget, that is just what I would do, I couldn't bear to see someone so upset. Don't you just want to take away all their pain? but finding the right words are so hard when people are grieving. I am sure you helped him cope with today a little bit, and he will remember your kindness. Bless you.

What a lovely lady you are, you will never know how much comfort your kind words brought to this young man on this very special day, in a way, it's as if you were meant to be there at that time for him. Wish someone would have spoken to me at my parents' graveside especially during those first months of grief.

Oh this brought tears to my eyes.

Bless you Bridget Joan x

Bridget youve just nearly made me cry and believe me thats not like me. What a lovely thing for you to do it must have helped him loads.
