A Complete Stranger Gave Me Flowers Today! It Made My Day!

By a friend • June 4, 2025

Okay so basically I love going to Trader Joe's, right? And I was just going in to get some coffee ice cream (their coffee ice cream is THE BEST!!) and I hadn't seen this girl in a couple of months.

She said "hey _____!" (My name exactly as I prefer to be called it) And I was so surprised she remembered and I turned around and said hey.

She asked how I had been and I was just telling her about how I had been sober for some amount of days. (I literally can't remember at this point which is kinda cool/good. I seem to remember closer to milestones.)

And she, unprompted, goes, "Oh okay! Well, I'm going to get you some flowers, then!"

And I went "Oh, no, no, no, you don't have to do that." And she was already making her way to the flowers, and then she picked out some flowers, and said "How do these look?"

And I just burst into tears and it was so, so sweet!
