I go to the VA for my medical care and needed to do some lab work on Friday. While there, I zipped into the little shop they have to grab a water and mints for the drive home.

My childish eyes landed on something, and I stopped and had to thoroughly look at it along with two other women. It's a squishy lamp in the shape of a cat! I wanted it, they wanted it, but we all agreed bit much for $20, so all of us wished a good day and wandered off.

I got what I needed and was heading to the register when the two ladies came around a corner, placed a bag on my walker and said "Merry Christmas!"

I almost cried, they had bought me the lamp! I told them several times that it's ok, I don't need it, and both said "Yes, you do" and left before I could catch up to insist on returning to them.

I love this lamp and honestly as someone who can't afford any holidays at all, it really made my day/year.

Hope in humanity restored that day.
