She showed alot of compassion and love for the homless and needy.  That's really thoughtful of you. Do you typically do things like that? Well I volunteer to help abused and battered kids. I wanted to show her things like this. I know she can be a good loving person.  Perhaps I should find the local shelter in my community and do the same. I have never done that before and I feel like I should be giving back to those less fortunate in some capacity. It makes you feel very good with yourself to be able to do things like this. I love and cherish those moments.
