Bonnie really said it - give back to others over the years that become ill. I cooked for months for a neighbor I barely knew who got ovarian cancer and have brought meals over to those who have a heart attack etc.

I did buy nice or funny "I'm thinking about you" cards for those who helped me out telling them how great the "meal" was or the ride home from school for one of my daughters was.

One woman who had little children did alot for me. I sent her kids a tin of 5 way popcorn. Kids love getting things in the mail and it was the only thing I bought because I knew her kids would love it.
