A good deed

I am a member of our local yahoo freecycle group and up until now mostly just a lurker. There was a message the other day looking for a Woody doll from the movie Toy Story, well before we decided to adopt Kaylie we tried to adopt locally a little boy, named Tyler he was 2 yrs old, well to make a long story short a long lost relative appeared and he never became a part of our family, but in preparation I had purchased a Woody and Buzz doll for him. It has been around our house for going on 7 years now and still in great shape, my nephew however claimed the Buzz doll years ago. Well I replied to this woman and told her I'd be happy to donate our Woody doll to her son. Turns out he is 4 yrs old and has autism, so I wasn't expecting much of a response from him, but when we arrived Kaylie got out of the car w/ Woody and he quickly flung the two Cars cars he was carrying and grabbed Woody from her, he was so excited, he hugged her and thanked her. By the time we left he came running up to me and hugged me and told me "he loved me". It was absolutely priceless and one of those things that just makes you feel good inside.
