Strangers’ Small Acts That Changed Lives Forever: Stories That Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity
A few years back I was flying alone from the us to the uk with my 18month old son as a lap infant (the most daunting thing I’ve done tbh). Found my seat next to the window when two ladies (perhaps late fifties, early sixties) took the seats next to me. The first words were ‘aw look a baby’ I replied to say don’t you mean ‘oh no a baby’ (no one wants to be on a flight with a baby right?). Wrong I guess because they were literally the kindest people. They were on their way to uk and then Spain for a girls holiday (life goals). We chatted the whole flight about our lives. And they took such care of me and my boy. They called themselves my kid’s aeroplane grandmas 😭
Cannot remember their names but they were from Connecticut, I will never forget them.
While walking to school I often pass a mother and her little kid (probably about 3) walking their other brother to the elementary school nearby. Approaching them on my bike, the little kid will wave and be so happy to see me (I’ve never talked to them other than these interactions) and make happy noises, and I’ll wave and hi, and it just absolutely makes my day. I’ll be half asleep and rushing to school, but after saying hi to this random little kid I will be ready to take on the world.
Love when I get to answer this!
The sweetest old lady messaged me thinking I was her grandson. She said she was excited to meet the new girlfriend and asked particular questions about any dietary restrictions as she’s making lunch for them. Felt so horrible having to tell her she got the wrong number, but said she’s a wonderful grandmother, and I’m sure her grandson and the new gf will absolutely love the spread!
