I wouldn’t say thank you to the midwife who helped me deliver my middle child, my son She slapped me across the face and told me to stop making so much noise. This was late 60 s and I didn’t even complain

To thank my adoptive parents for what they did against family opposition. By the time I understood everything sadly they had died.

On returning from a caravan holiday with our 2 young children, our ancient car finally died on a hill just outside Bristol.
We had the good fortune to stop by a man who was repairing a JCB digger. He looked at our car, took me and the kids to the local park then took husband to get the vital bit to get the car going. He repaired the car too. We insisted on giving him some money but he was very reluctant to accept it.
We were very cash strapped at the time and really appreciated his kindness. As husband picked us up from the park, I never really had the chance to thank our hero.
There are some good folk about.

I wish I could say thank you to the midwife who looked after me when I was in labour with my daughter. I remember knowing that if you push too soon, it does damage and I said umpteen times: "I want to push! Can I push? I'm pushing!" Every time she patiently told me it was OK - never once did she say "I just answered that!" Her kindness made a huge difference to me - and of course I cannot find her now, decades later, to say a proper thank you. Is there someone you would like to say 'Thank you' to, but who you've lost touch with, or maybe they have died - but you still feel grateful?
