Nice Old Lady Helped Me Out When I Was Struggling

By a friend • June 17, 2025

I remember this moment, it was sometime 2016 i guess.

I was a student at Uni and on the way home, hungry, decided to stop by the Farmers market to get some stuff to cook. I had not originally planned for this and bought more than I could reasonably stuff into my bag with my laptop. Where I'm from it is not usual to get bags at Farmers markets, you bring your own.

So, I stopped at a bench trying to figure it all out.

Then this nice old lady showed up and just gave me a spare cotton bag she had and went on with her day. Of course I thanked her and I have been using this bag for shopping until it sadly disappeared in one of my moves after.

I still think of her sometimes and hope she is doing well.
