At the levaya of Rav Ovadia Yosef zt"l, there was one mourner that seemed out of place. A Gur Chossid that was crying more than anyone else. After awhile some of the people asked him why he was crying so intensely, and he began to tell them the story of how Rav Ovadia went out of his way to not only saved his marriage when nobody else could help, the Rav blessed him with a blessing that built his house! Today his wife is a tzadikah, had many more children, and all seven boys grew up to be tzadikim, Talmidei Chachamim and Rosh Yeshivas! When the Rabbanit asked Rav Ovadia why he didn't send someone else, the Rav said, "I was the only one who could help."
