Saved In The Bathroom By A Stranger While Out Of State

By Magstarunner • May 26, 2025

I was in a different state with my youngest son for a hockey tournament. My husband called me between games distraught: our best college friend was suddenly in the hospital and it didn’t look good. I tried to comfort my husband, then went back in and watch the last game. I didn’t really know the other parents, so I didn’t have anyone to tell. The kids won their last game and won the tournament.

After the game, the team and a bunch of us hockey parents go to dinner to celebrate, when I get a text from my husband that our friend has passed. I excuse myself and go into the bathroom. No one is in there. I’m in total shock and so sad…I crouch down to the floor and start crying. Suddenly the door pops open. I jump up, embarrassed and getting ready to apologize, when this stranger comes right up to me and offers me a hug.

I hugged that woman. I mean, really hugged her and just sobbed for a straight minute. Then she just left the bathroom.

It was amazing. Just amazing. I never even told her what was wrong. I’m so grateful to that woman.

Wherever you are now: thank you so much!
