How do you thank someone when thank you is not enough?

[GDIMOM]

A few weeks back I met a cafemom. We got to chatting and added each other on yahoo messenger. We have been chatting everyday since :)

Well one topic jumped from another and she decided to invest in me. I am a struggling single mom trying any and everthing to stay home with my kids and find the money for our basic needs.

I don't know what made her want to do it, maybe because she has been in my shoes or close to it.

Well, she invested a nice amount of money for me to start a business selling hijabs/scarves (what Muslim women wear to cover their hair.) Oh, and she is not even Muslim :)

I am just in awe and they arrived today so I know that this kindness is real and don't know how to say thank you enough. She said thank you is enough but I am just so happy and had to write this journal lol.

There are true, geniune, selfless people out there :)

How awesome to see kindness in action here at CafeMom.
I think the best way to thank someone for something like this is to "pay it forward." Keep the good deed going and be sure to let your friend know you are doing so in her honor. Then be sure to let the person you are helping know that you hope she will keep the good will tradition going by helping another person in need in a similar way some day.

Best wishes on your new business and on paying it forward!
