Miss Stacey

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 09, 2023 / 2,000 views

My son works at a local sheltered workshop for the handicapped a couple of days a week. On those days I drive him there, we almost always arrive at the same time as “Miss Stacey.” She is a beautiful woman who has been my son’s friend his whole life. Cerebral Palsy has confined her to a wheel chair. It has twisted her limbs and made it difficult for her to speak. Yet, each time I see her, her...

Kindness Really Doesn’t Have To Be Big Or Flashy

By Rebecca on June 08, 2023 / 2,968 views

My Mum is 87; she is very nearly deaf and has dementia so my sister and I take care of her. It’s a funny thing, dementia, because each case is different. Mum is quite happy frequently seeing her grandkids and great-grandkids, she doesn’t wander, she knows who we are and what year it is, still dresses neatly and sticks to a routine. But her speech has been pretty much reduced...

I Really Hope The Man Knows How Happy He Made The Kids And Myself In That Moment

By Jemma on June 07, 2023 / 3,205 views

Today after school I took my four kids (including two year old twins) in to the supermarket to grab a few things. Whilst in the check out line a man approached the cashier and was trying to explain something to him. At first I wasn’t paying attention as I was focussed on getting out of there before one or both of the twins had finished their free fruit and wanted to escape the pram. About 15...

It's Reassuring To Know That There Are People Looking Out For Our Elderly

By Janet on June 07, 2023 / 2,511 views

Yesterday, my 83 year old father in law was returning from visiting a neighbour in hospital. He could hear a funny noise from the back of the car, so pulled into a lay by to investigate. He discovered he had a completely flat tyre. Fortunately there was also a lorry parked in this lay by, as my FIL realised once he’d stopped that he had left his mobile phone at home. He approached the driver...

Another Close Call

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 06, 2023 / 2,477 views

When I was in college I didn’t own a car so whenever I visited home for the weekend I had to catch a ride with a friend. On one of these weekends my friend, David and I were driving back to the school. He was taking a shortcut to the main highway along a gravel road mainly used by coal trucks. He was driving like a typical teenager, way too fast. Suddenly, as we rounded a curve we saw a coal truck coming...

You Need This More Than Me Young Man

By Meredith on June 05, 2023 / 2,417 views

My son and I were at the movies today, while we were waiting in line to get tickets, the lady in front of us gave my son popcorn and a drink saying "you need this more than me young man". My son was surprised, I was very grateful because going to the movies isn't cheap and we have to share food and drink . We have given away and enjoy being kind ourselves, so we ourselves...

Proud Momma Here

By Kelly on June 05, 2023 / 2,513 views

My beautiful 6 year old son told me not to come into the study yesterday as he was working on something. A little while later, he emerged, snuck into his room and shut the door. After a while, he came back out and went into our room. He then came into the lounge room, where I was, and told me that there was something under my pillow and something under Dad‘s pillow but we can’t look at...

Is This Just THE BEST Interaction You've Heard?

By Bernadette on June 02, 2023 / 1,969 views

I'm on a beachside caravan holidays out walking early, got caught in the rain on the way back. On the path ahead of me I see an elderly gentleman in his 80's, shuffling along in his raincoat towards me. I call out a hearty cheerful "good morning" we then have this conversation.... Him: "Good morning" he approached me and holds out his hand which is hidden in his jacket...

There Is Good In This World

By Josh Haltom on June 01, 2023 / 3,285 views

Tonight, on my flight from Indianapolis to Baltimore I sat next to an unaccompanied minor who was traveling to Baltimore to see her Mother. With Southwest Airlines open seating anyone could have sat next to her, in fact many people avoided her and her boundless energy during boarding. But finally, the couple you see in the photo occupied the two seats to her right. Within minutes the young girl...

My dad spent over 20 minutes writing this graduation note for me. He was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2009 and has had 3 brain surgeries and a lot of radiation. Writing is extremely difficult for him but he still managed to write this on my card. I’m keeping this forever. Credit: u/ItsDevax on...

A Billion Buttercups

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 30, 2023 / 3,372 views

It was the start of Spring several years ago. I had pulled out my old lawn mower to cut my grass for the first time. I pushed it over to my front yard. There mixed in with the multiple grass species, green onions, and dandelions I saw something new. A single buttercup was pushing its way through the soil. I bent down to examine it. It was bright yellow with five pedals making a star like shape. I sniffed it...

To The Man In The Carpark...

By Anita on May 29, 2023 / 1,758 views

To the man in the carpark at the Warnbro shopping centre (WA) today, thank you! My 7-year-old son returned our trolley then tidied up all the other trolleys and move them all into the correct sizes. You not only took time to give him positive feedback, you very unexpectedly and generously handed him $10. My son was a bit stunned and can’t remember if he said thank you so thank you very much....

Us Women Need To Look Out For Each Other

By Skye on May 29, 2023 / 2,055 views

So the last few weeks I have been feeling down and overwhelmed as we sometimes do, yesterday a friend I haven’t seen for a long time (we used to work together), reached out and gifted me the most generous voucher to pamper myself. She said us women need to look out for each other. She touched my heart and lifted my...

A Flower Crown

I have been struggling terribly with mental health lately, so went for a walk with my sons. On the way back to the car i came across this beautiful flower crown, that some lovely person had made and left for another to find. The note left with it made me smile. This beautiful soul has no idea how much this made my day so much brighter. Little things mean a...

By Andrea on May 25, 2023 / 2,261 views

I would like to thank the woman on Table 24 who paid for my Dad's and my dinner tonight. We go to the same place for dinner most Thursdays and the staff are fantastic. I went up to pay for our dinner and the staff member serving us, Andre' said that I did not need to pay tonight as the couple on Table 24 paid for our dinner. We didn't speak to each other, or even acknowledge...

My parents were celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary with a special lunch at Cassegrain, Port Macquarie yesterday when they experienced the most generous act of kindness. Two lovely ladies with a young child sitting in the corner, must’ve seen them come in, saying that it was their anniversary, and paid for their meal before leaving. Mum and Dad were in disbelief and so delighted to receive this...
