Best Friend

By A Friend on June 06, 2019 / 3,694 views

I just want to say how great friend(s) can be. My child hood friend just called me after 20 years. He moved away in 11th grade. No number, no address, nothing for me to write to. No phone number to get. He was gone. I looked, he looked, finally just by chance my brother went to his job while doing his job. A one in a million chance. I started crying when I heard his voice. I never knew...

Today, a man alone at the restaurant I work at took care of a bill for a party of 17 next to him that was mostly kids and 5 or 6 adults.

I Am Finally Happy

I'm 28(M), and for the first time in my adult life I am completely happy and at peace. There were so many times I wanted to give up but didn't out of fear of hurting other people or causing them problems.

Birthday Party

By A Friend on May 30, 2019 / 2,767 views

So, a couple of weeks ago my family found out that my Uncle has stage four brain cancer. I was very upset with the news as I have lived with him for the past nine years. About a week later, May 12, was my B-DAY and I really didn't want to celebrate it with all that was going on. I just got me some cupcakes and went to my friends house to watch GoT. At some point during the evening, it slipped out that it...

A week ago I started running again for the first time in over a year. I've been pushing myself hard every single day. Today I was running on a trail, and I passed a guy. He made eye contact and gave me a thumbs up. I was running back, and I passed him again. This time he said "keep it up buddy." I dont know why, but that was like rocket fuel. I was almost blown up, but that got me going and I...

We pulled in and asked him if he needed help, he said...

I wanted to share some of the lessons, because he deserves to remembered for what he taught me, in sickness &...

In The Now

In Glen Arbor, Texas, my family of 6 stopped at a small sub shop. The worker struck up a conversation with us and asked us what we were doing for the day.

He said that he had gone there several...

Nice Gestures From A Stranger

By A Friend on May 09, 2019 / 4,569 views

This was several years ago, but I remember this kindness very clearly. I was at a Jiffy Lube one morning getting an oil change for my car, and an older man with a heavy Southern drawl came in. They were busy, so after ten minutes or so, he starts up small talk with me. I find out he's from Texas (I was in MO at the time), traveling with a construction crew. I jokingly say "You must make...

While I was eating my delicious chalupa, I noticed an elderly man walk up to the counter to talk to one of the employees. He looked to be in his 70's, possibly 80's. I couldn't see which of the 3 employees he was talking to, but the old man and the employee did an elbow bump. An ELBOW bump. They even blew it up after! They exchanged a few more words, then the elderly man grabbed a refill...
