Big Brother At QuikTrip

By Witchy on August 22, 2018 / 3,686 views

I was just about to take a bite of my mozzarella sticks when my brother called me to let me know he was out of his appointment early. Starving little me decided it was a good idea to drive and dip my sticks into the sauce all the while watching my gps, so of course something dumb was bound to happen, as it did. I hit a curb on my way out and I guess it was bad because I immediately felt the car weigh down and...

Mom's Last Visit

By Jay Drosin on August 21, 2018 / 4,324 views

For the past 33 years I have lived and worked in Africa, far from my mother who lived in Los Angeles. One night I dreamed of her as she slowly walked up the stairs to her apartment. She was a heavy woman and she walked slowly and painfully, as she reached the last step, she looked up at me and said "Baby, I'm not going to make it, I'm just too tired." The next morning I got a communication...

Returning A Wallet

By RazorG on August 20, 2018 / 5,214 views

I found a wallet a couple of weeks ago inside of a car that I was renting. The wallet had credit cards and quite a bit of cash inside. The gentleman who it belonged to happen to be celebrating his birthday that same day. I was able to mail him his wallet. A few weeks later I receive this. "Jamie, I can’t tell you how fortunate I felt that our paths crossed when they did. It is so rare...

Magic Teddy Bear

By Terri Rimmer on August 20, 2018 / 3,519 views

I've been suffering from dental pain all weekend and can't afford to go to the dentist. None of the homemade toothache remedies are working. I don't know why, but something inspired me to grab this small teddy bear that my birth daughter's adoptive mom had given me when she was little. It's white and has a t-shirt on it with a picture of McKenna, my birth daughter when she was in...

God Said 'No'

By Joseph J. Mazzella on August 19, 2018 / 4,270 views

"Please God let my son be normal!" I was a young Father. My first born son had been diagnosed with Autism two years earlier. His speech wasn't developing right. He had many repetitive behaviors. Often he would cry for a long time for no reason. My daughter who had been born two years after him was developing normally, out-pacing her brother. My wife had been content with just the two of them but...

Young Man Helps Grandpa Fix His Trimmer At Home Depot

By Kiana Vincent on August 16, 2018 / 4,377 views

I wanted to share a great story about a young man who went out of his way to help my 83 year old grandfather. We came to Home Depot (Rhode Island Ave. DC) to replace the spool feed for his trimmer. We came across QuRan where he showed my grandfather which feed he would need. We then paid for the feed and proceeded to go to the lawn services kiosk. An employee informed us that...

Would You Be My Neighbor?

By Geoffrey on August 13, 2018 / 3,597 views

I just watched Would You Be My Neighbor, the Mister Rogers movie, and I think you should see it. He & I would like you to know that you can love and you are lovable. We’d also like you to know the power that you possess, that we often pass off as mundane. Your smile can create another. Your voice can create conversation. Your insight can draw parallels between others who may not...

Feline Fire

By Terri Rimmer on August 10, 2018 / 4,386 views

I was taking a nap and could've sworn I heard the sound of loud crackling fire. I was scared to death, thinking about how in Texas we'd had these heat waves, heat advisories, 100 plus temperatures, and fire threats as well as fires in the state due to not having any rain in a while. My grass in my yard as well as neighbors' yards had been dead for quite some time. What was...

Final Notes

By A Friend on August 09, 2018 / 5,239 views

My grandfather died when my dad was 14. His ashes were spread on a spot at a local cemetery. My grandmother never remarried and supposedly never even dated again. 40+ yrs later, my grandmother died. We spread her ashes on the same spot her husband was. Then, we went inside some building at the cemetery I didn't know about. Apparently, this is where they kept personal records for the...

Returning A Lost Key

By A Friend on August 09, 2018 / 4,296 views

I was biking on a trail in Boulder, Colorado. I had just got off work from a 10 hour shift, so I wasn’t planning on anything too strenuous. About 2 miles of biking down the trail I pass another group of cyclers, and almost directly after them, I see a key in the middle of the trail. I pick it up, and it’s a newer style Jeep key. I turned around and attempted to catch up with the group, but...

You Can Do Anything In This World

By Judith Maduhu on August 06, 2018 / 5,014 views

Absolutely true...you can do anything in this world,you just have to want to. Well a simple example to back this powerful statement up. We woke up one morning and my roommate's laptop wouldn't just start,it was really a surprise since it all happened un-announced. She had a lot of presentations to work on and potentially she was a bit confused. Then one thing came in her mind,"google", so she...

Random Acts Of Kindness Do Exist

By Greg Dybec on August 03, 2018 / 4,204 views

Met a Nigerian man at the World Cup & told him how much I loved this jersey (sold out everywhere). He took my address and told me he'd mail me one. Didn't believe him but today this showed up all the way from Nigeria. Random acts of kindness do...

Stories Based On Sixteen Words

By Anjali Mohapatra on August 02, 2018 / 3,775 views

All stories are different from each other in respect of contents, words and themes too. These are few stories based in sixteen words exactly. Kindly have a look: Money, power and position are three most powerful weapons for the downfall of anybody in this Universe. Knowledge is the only property which increases its value the more you give, rather than decreasing. (by...

Boring Wilson

By Janice G. Alcones on August 02, 2018 / 4,507 views

Banana is the favourite fruit of my middle child and one of the 2 fruits he ate together with grapes. When I came home from work last Monday he mentioned that a kid in school called him Ba-na-na! I kept on guessing why he was associated with Banana while he was not eating it in school. He then told me because of his jacket with a yellow hue. Everyday, by 6am my son and I were...

At First Light

By Rene Vera on July 30, 2018 / 3,891 views

I remember the first time I was taken out to pick grapes and what an impact it made on my life at such a young age. My older brothers and sister had already received the call for duty, and this was going to be my first time out. Driving down the road in the early morning hours... I realized that the sun would soon make an appearance…an appearance that would preface an imminent heat, a fervent heat, a...

My Cap Fell Off My Truck Bed While Driving, Some Neighbor Kids Help Me Put It Back On

By C. Tacke on July 26, 2018 / 3,198 views

First I'll give a little back story. Today I was sanding the roof of my truck to bare metal so I could paint over it. I couldn't reach the entire roof from where I was positioned, so I decided to loosen the bolts holding the cap on the bed of my truck down so that I could slide it back. That would allow me to stand in the bed of the truck and reach the entire area of the roof that I wanted to sand....

When I'm an old lady, I'll live with each kid, And bring so much happiness just as they did. I want to pay back all the joy they've provided. Returning each deed! Oh, they'll be so excited! (When I'm an old lady and live with my kids...) I'll write on the walls with reds, whites, and blues, And bounce on the furniture.....wearing my...
