Pay it forward

This has been a challenging week for me. Sick cat, cat then had a bad reaction to medication, 3 year old who suddenly thinks that playtime s from 2-5am, my physical health is a bit on the under the weather side, and a flat tire today. Add in in the past week I've had 4 possible clients, not one has committed to a first session. And really that breaks my heart when I know that what has been problematic for them I can clear up but somehow, for some reason their not coming in. There are Moms out there that can exist on little to no sleep like it's nothing, I am not that Mom.
So let's fast forward to today and that darn flat tire. I had hoped to make it to the tire shop, didn't happen, went totally flat and came off the rim. It was very cold and of course I had my daughter with me in the car. Long story short my parents came to give us a warm place to sit while the tow truck guy changed the flat. (Yes I know how but I am SLOW at it, in fact I can change brakes pads and tune up my car!) Well one stinking lug nut wouldn't come off and in fact was stripped in the process. Thus my Jeep had to be towed to the tire shop. While we waited for the two truck hooked up my car this random stranger drove by and asked if that was my Jeep. I'm thinking yes, you want me to pay you $5 and it's yours! He says to me, stay there I live right there and I have something for your car...Comes back tells me a short little personal history he has with Jeeps and hands me a brand new automatic remote car starter for my Jeep. I, of course, offer to pay him for it and he refuses. Told me he felt he eventually would be able to give it to someone who deserved it and that it should cost like $100 to get it installed. I was in SHOCK! He was kind enough to give me his business cards, and I was still in shock and didn't give him mine.
Thus Mr. Victor Koch THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! That made my week! It was all I could do to not jump out of my parents car and hug him till his eyes popped out!
