Shimrod, how lovely of you! It's true, the looks on the faces of the recipients warm one's heart forever. It's worth far, far more than the money itself, or whatever one could have purchased with it. I think one of the most important virtues is the capacity to pity. Once you feel intense pity, it's second nature to help and succour. People who have no pity in them and can't empathise or feel for their fellows miss out on the joy we all here on Mudcat receive when we give from our hearts. You really have made my day with your story, thank you so much.
