This story was awarded "Story of the Year" for 2007. It was simple, yet captured the essence of what Thanks-o-meter.com was created to do. Recognize the nice things people do each day.
Every day I have afternoon duty and today was just like all the others until a parent came by and made me feel so special. It was the usual 107° out; sweat was rolling down my back and saturating my waistband. When out of nowhere an angel (who happened to be a parent) gave me an ice-cold lemonade Gatorade. He had brought it just for me. He did not say much, just handed it to me and said “for you” but I heard “I appreciate you.” “Thank you for being out here.” I told him “thank you” and hoped he knew how special he made me feel.
