By A Friend on March 30, 2026 / 3,111 views

My parents passed away less than 2 years ago (one year apart) and I recently found this note my mom wrote. They were married in 1955 and were together until the end. Side 1: "3/11/55 Friday My darling came tonight! How glad I was to see him. He’s my angel!! He got to Wesleyan and called me to come and get him in the Buick. All the way over I was so-so...

Witnessed A Stranger Comfort A Crying Person, And Now I’m Also Crying

By A Friend on March 30, 2026 / 2,594 views

I took my dog to the park and we posted up at a respectful distance from a young man who was already there. After about ten minutes he gets up and moves further away, then starts absolutely wailing. I mean like full body sobs, we all know the kind. I’m trying to mind my business while also wondering if I should check on him when I see another man walking his dog approach. They talk...

Kindness Is Free In Life. Please Use It To Help Others

By Jess on March 27, 2026 / 3,113 views

I have been sick since Tuesday, causing me to miss work. I moved out here to a new apartment where I am after surviving homelessness and DV. I head back to work tomorrow and I'm excited, even though it's a two hour walk from me, I'm just trying to continue to pick up the pieces to my life on my own. I ran into someone who saw me walking to the ER when I was in extremely sick...

Someone Stayed On The Phone With My Mom In A Parking Lot

By A Friend on March 26, 2026 / 3,008 views

A while back my mom got turned around driving in an area she didn’t know well, she isn't good with Google map or anything of that sort, for whatever reason it all hit her at once. She pulled into a parking lot, got overwhelmed, and called the number on a nearby business sign just to ask for directions because she was too flustered to think straight. The woman who answered could’ve...

Tiny Little Acts Of Kindness

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 25, 2026 / 2,937 views

I walked into the store recently to buy another week’s worth of groceries for me and my sons. As I went through the doors I saw a man struggling to separate two shopping carts stuck together. When he got them apart he pushed the first one to me with a smile. I thanked him and started going up and down the aisles. They were narrow and crowded but with smiles and “excuse me’s”...

Yesterday I Went To A Local Bread Shop Near My Work

By Naomi on March 24, 2026 / 2,530 views

Yesterday I went to a local bread shop near my work, to grab some bits for my breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately the online payment system decided then was a good time to go offline, after about five attempts to get ot to work. As I didn't have any cash on me, the person serving, said they would hold my purchases if I wanted to go a bit further down the street to get some cash out and come back...

Kindness Of Coworkers While I Was Without A Vehicle

By A Friend on March 23, 2026 / 2,275 views

I've been dealing with car issues recently. My alternator went out and after I had it maybe 3 weeks, that one went out as well. It's been repaired again. Anyway, my coworkers were incredible in giving me rides to and from work so I didn't have to take any time off. My mobile mechanic even dropped me off and picked me up (yes, he was compensated for it even though he didn't...

To Me This Is Love

By Amie Hanson on March 21, 2026 / 2,451 views

My husband noticed that no one was eating the oranges. I said that I think I subconsciously avoid them because I have eczema on my hands and peeling them hurts the little cuts. The next day this was in the fridge. He proceeded to peel 6 oranges for me every Sunday to last the week, and has continued to do so (when I want oranges). I never asked him to. I...

A Beautiful Bond Between Kids And Seniors

By LaLionneEcossaise on March 20, 2026 / 2,424 views

My late mother spent her final years in a wonderful assisted living facility. Pricey (private pay, no Medicare) but they ran the place like a resort, not a nursing home. Very near the facility is a daycare. With parental permission, the daycare would make “field trips” around each major holiday to visit with the residents. So for example, at Halloween, costumed children would...

Several Strangers Helped Me Get Home Safe In Nashville

By Whatyawantbudbud on March 19, 2026 / 2,445 views

A couple years ago I was visiting Nashville and went out on Broadway. Around 1 a.m. I was way more dr*nk than I should have been. While getting into a taxi near the stadium I dropped my phone without realizing it. I couldn’t even remember what hotel I was staying at. Eventually the taxi driver dropped me off somewhere and I ended up passing out in a parking lot next to a park. When I woke up,...

A Single Gesture Of Love

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 18, 2026 / 2,787 views

My new story is about how a single gesture of love can change a life. I hope you enjoy it. God bless you always. Not everything you learn in school comes in the classroom. Sometimes academia falls short. Sometimes the wisest lessons come at the most unlikely times. One of the greatest lessons I ever learned didn’t come from a book or a teacher but from a little girl in elementary...

Dear Barbara In The Louisiana Walmart Parking Lot

By A Friend on March 18, 2026 / 2,090 views

You saw me slowly shuffling and limping across the parking lot and not being able to bend, twist or lift my groceries into the trunk of my car. You chose to come over and ask if I needed help. And I really really did! Thank you for this very small kindness. Sincerely, Someone learning to accept the limitations of their disability and help from kind...

A Small Kindness From A Stranger That Stayed With Me For Years

By Zaramalikdollface on March 17, 2026 / 2,468 views

I was traveling alone after a long day of delays and missed connections. By the time I reached the train station it was late evening, the kind of quiet where everything echoes and most people are just trying to get home. My train wasn’t coming for another hour. My phone battery was almost dead and I hadn’t eaten since earlier that afternoon. I remember sitting on a...

A Stranger Helped My Dad In A Way I’ll Probably Never Forget

By Zaramalikdollface on March 16, 2026 / 2,334 views

This happened when I was a kid, but it’s one of those moments that stuck with me for years. My dad and I were at a grocery store late in the evening. It was one of those quick “run in and grab a few things” trips. I remember being tired and leaning on the shopping cart while he checked out. When the cashier rang everything up, my dad reached for his wallet and froze. He...

Note My Daughter Left For Me In My Office This Morning

By A Friend on March 13, 2026 / 2,000 views

She sneaked it in my office so I didn’t see it until after I dropped her off at school. She’s getting pizza and lots of hugs later for sure. Cute additional context, she knows my favourite colours are green and...

My Wife And I Had Our Miracle Baby Today

By A Friend on March 12, 2026 / 2,033 views

Keeping the story as short as I can, my wife and I tried for 5 years to have a child, 3 years of it doing fertility treatments. It was such a toll on both of us, so we stopped, thinking that was not what we were meant for. We spent the past 2 years content in chapter we were in. Then, we were surprised to find out on Christmas Eve that she was 6 months pregnant. And...

Remembering Aunt Charlotte

My Aunt Charlotte passed away recently. She had lived 100 years here when God finally called her home. She lived her life with so much generosity, kindness, love, laughter, and joy. She touched the hearts and lives of so many people. I have so many wonderful memories of her floating around in my mind. Let me share one of them from my childhood with you now. It was a hot, summer’s day. I was...
