										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">December 23, 2015 is a day that David Mosher is never going to forget. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s the day his then-girlfriend, Heather Lindsay, was diagnosed with breast cancer. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mosher was determined to make sure she knew that she wouldn’t be facing the battle on her own.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The diagnosis spurred him to do something that he had been wanting to do for a long time&#8230;and when he did it, he made Lindsay&#8217;s final wish come true.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The couple had met at a dance class earlier that year, and they were as thick as thieves ever since. It was clear to everyone they were meant to be together.</span></p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9115" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-05-at-10.23.40-AM.jpg" alt="" width="593" height="401" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-05-at-10.23.40-AM.jpg 593w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-05-at-10.23.40-AM-300x203.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lindsay’s illness brought them closer together, but that unfortunately wouldn’t lead to her fortunes improving.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lindsay’s health declined substantially, and she wound up in the hospital this year. There was simply nothing else that doctors could do for her. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tragically, she was going to die, but there was one thing she wanted to make happen before that came to pass: she wanted to become Mosher’s wife. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The couple would get married &#8211; right there in the hospital. Lindsay was too ill to get out of bed, but she was still able to achieve her dream.</span></p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9117" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-05-at-10.23.50-AM.jpg" alt="" width="236" height="335" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-05-at-10.23.50-AM.jpg 236w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-05-at-10.23.50-AM-211x300.jpg 211w" sizes="(max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bridesmaid Christina Karas was there, and she recalls the joy that her friend experienced for those few moments. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“<em>She’s getting to shout from the rooftops that she loves Dave and is able to say, ‘I’m his wife</em>,’” Karas told TV station WFSB.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“It reminds me of someone who is crossing the finish line of a marathon or something,” Mosher, 35, said of the photo.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sadly, Lindsay would pass away just hours after saying ‘I do’ to the love of her life. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Photos of the happy bride have captured a ton of attention on social media, and it’s easy to see why. </span></p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9116" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-05-at-10.23.58-AM.jpg" alt="" width="443" height="477" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-05-at-10.23.58-AM.jpg 443w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-05-at-10.23.58-AM-279x300.jpg 279w" sizes="(max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s quite obvious to anyone who sees them that the couple is truly in love, and that just makes this story all the more heartbreaking.</span></p>
<p>Sometimes, we have to lose those we love but if we did something to enrich and improve their lives, we can take solace in one fact:</p>
<p>Before they left us, they knew just how important they were to us. And maybe that&#8217;s something you CAN take with you&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our sincere thoughts and prayers go out to Mosher on the tragic loss of his beautiful bride. </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The most wonderful time of the year and the spreading of joy go hand in hand.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But there are some folks who really kick things up a notch when it comes to making the Christmas magic happen!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No, we’re not talking about those who strap themselves to the gills to make sure the latest high-falutin gadget is underneath the tree. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While it’s always nice to make sure our loved ones get the gifts on their wish-lists, there’s a lot to be said for dropping random acts of kindness on strangers. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8599" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/DinerPic1.jpg" alt="" width="608" height="456" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/DinerPic1.jpg 608w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/DinerPic1-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nothing says Christmas magic like completely unexpected spreadings of good tidings and cheer, and the looks on the faces of those on the receiving end are priceless.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An amazing example of that recently took place at the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brief Encounter restaurant in Bellevue, Washington.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A frequent customer of the establishment did something amazing for the staff, and he didn’t even make a big hullabaloo about things.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He simply dropped a note of thanks &#8211; and a whole lot more. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8600" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/DinerNoteTip.jpg" alt="" width="456" height="608" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/DinerNoteTip.jpg 456w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/DinerNoteTip-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px" /></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;You guys do a great job! When I was 7, I washed dishes and my mom cooked in a diner like this. </span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">We were dirt poor and didn&#8217;t have money for </span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christmas</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hopefully, this will help all of you have a better Christmas,&#8221; the customer wrote.</span></i></p>
<p>And that wasn&#8217;t all. Staffers were stunned when they saw what came with the note&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The man, Dwayne Clark, CEO of an assisted living community named Aegis Living, had tipped the staff a whopping $3,000 on a $39 check!</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8598" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/DinerRegularCustomer.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="450" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/DinerRegularCustomer.jpg 800w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/DinerRegularCustomer-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He wanted it to be spread equally amongst those that work at the restaurant, and each of the employees has received an unexpected windfall of $250, just in time for the holidays.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So what inspired Clark to do something so amazing? It’s actually rather simple. </span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I saw how hard my mom worked for people who weren&#8217;t always appreciative,&#8221; Clark said.</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He’s hoping that his kind act inspires even more people to give back this holiday season, though of course not everyone has such deep pockets:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>You don&#8217;t have to give money. You can write appreciative notes and say thank you,&#8221; he said of wanting to inspire a tipping movement this holiday season. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>&#8220;It would go a long way to nourish all of us.</strong></span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;</span></i></p></blockquote>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8601" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/DinerPic2.jpg" alt="" width="608" height="456" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/DinerPic2.jpg 608w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/DinerPic2-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s an outstanding sentiment from Clark, and he just so happens to be right on the money&#8230;no pun intended.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The little things can make a gigantic difference, and it’s important to remember in the midst of all the hustle and bustle around the holidays. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kind acts, expressions of gratitude, and even a simple smile can go a long way towards ensuring the season is bright for each and every one of us!</span></p>
