"People need to help each other and that's all there is to it."

It's a simple enough statement. On a day when you turn on the news and all you hear is one terrible story after another, it's good to hear a story that touches your heart not out of sadness, but out of goodness. A woman in Dennison, TX lost her home in foreclosure. She went to Dallas as a last paragraph of the story of her life with her home so she could say goodbye. Maybe she would catch a glimpse of the person who'd buy her home. Understandably, she was crying and upset. She wasn't making a spectacle of herself, but she was crying. A woman nearby asked her why she was crying. She told the woman she was crying because she'd come to say goodbye to her home. This home was featured without a picture in the auction booklet. The woman who asked her what was the matter decided then and there to buy this home if she could. She got the home for less than $30,000. Then she told the woman who was the previous owner to get ready to move back in. They'll work out the details about payment and for now a woman and her family have a home again.
