A Little Story That Taught Me A Big Lesson

By a friend • November 12, 2026

Today while I was drinking my coffee at my morning walk a woman in her 60s passed by with crutches and she was clearly struggling so I asked her if she needs help.

She asked me for directions to the hospital she goes to for her leg (prosthetic leg) and I helped her, told her the location and asked if she want me to hold her or help.

She started crying and told me she started forgetting things, her 24 year son died almost 2 years ago, she lost her husband years before that. She was alone, no money, just a bus ticket.

I offered to buy her food and wait with her to her appointment she was so grateful I cant express, she told me a hundred times "thank you may God bless you".

I'm so sorry for her, I hugged her and gave her my number and said she could call me whenever she wants, such a sweet lady.

This taught me a big lesson today. I will always be grateful and I will not take anything for granted.
