When I do something for someone who says " how can I repay you for your kindness?" my answer is always "You can pay it forward." By that I mean take the good feeling I gave you, and give it to someone else. I am sorry if this bothers people, but Grandma always said "if you are sad, do something for someone else, and you won't be sad anymore." Works for me.
