This huge real estate forum called Active Rain with close to 200K members, do you think it is possible to find true friend?  You bet it can!

Lizette's momOne of our Active Rain Ambassadors, Lizette Fitzpatrick asked the rainers if we could help her to surprise her mom's 80th birthday by sending her mom a birthday card.  Pay It Forward - How You Can Surprise An 80 Year Old Today - Please Read!   Of course, I will do that!

That was in October.  Today, I got a Thank You postcardThank you postcard from Lizette from Lizette with her mom's pictures and all the birthday cards she received from us.  It is so wonderful to see Lizette's mom's smile and the heart warming words from Lizette.

We come to Active Rain to blog for all different reasons, but it is not all business all the time.  I know most of us here are so willing to help and make others feel good when it is needed.  If you have a request for prayers, encouragement, solution for a question, you bet you will get answers.  If you are new to Active Rain, you have not caught on to the warm and fuzziness here yet, just stay put, come often, make friends, you will find out the truth of Active Rain.  It is not all business here.     

Thank you, Lizette for letting us to be part of your mom's 80th birthday celebration!                      

 

Serving Marion, West Memphis, Crawfordsville, Hughes, Horseshoe Lake, and surrounding areas.  If you are planning to sell or buy, please feel free to give me a call, I will be glad to help you.

Rita, how special for Lizette's Mom.  So oftern, as the elderly age, they have fewer and fewer friends around to enjoy their time with.  This was sucha simple and easy way to let her mom know she is thought of and loved by many.

Liz, really?  That's too cute.  I just slipped a $100 bill in the card, lol, just kidding. 

You sent one, too, that's just wonderful.  I am so glad her mom felt loved, that's so sweet!
