Strangers’ Small Acts That Changed Lives Forever: Stories That Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity
I went back to my home town to visit my Grandma (mother’s side) for her birthday. The trip was sort of a birthday present to myself as well as our birthdays are close together and because of that we ended up having a shared party with my old friends and hers and our family (they even invited family from my dad’s side which was a pleasant surprise)
Anyways long story short, there were some of my grandma’s friends there obviously and there was this sweet lady about 80 years old who I had never met before ever in my life, but she got me a fairly expensive bottle of wine because “everyone should get to celebrate with wine on their 21st” and there was a card attached and it was completely full on both sides with beautiful handwriting congratulating me and just going off wishing me the best in life and god I just wish I remembered off the top of my head anything it said. I do still have the card packed away because it was so sweet and odd because as confirmed by my Grandma, I had honestly never met the woman in my life until that day.
I work at a shop stocking shelves and one day I was using my knife to cut up one of the empty boxes so I could put it away when an old man stopped in front of me. He was watching me for a little while so I asked if I was in his way and if he needed past me to get something and he said “No, I was just watching to make sure you didn’t cut yourself.”
It doesn’t sound like much but at the time I was struggling with my mental health and it was nice to know that someone was looking out for me (:.
