I was kind to her daughter. And she remembered it 16 years later

2,593 views | Posted by A friend on June 25, 2026

I work as a Server in a sushi restaurant. And lately I've been a little burned out and had many long tiring shifts, to the point of feeling very depressed. But yesterday I got a glimpse of the beautiful and pure parts of this job. Which honestly rekindled my spark at work. A little backstory. I am Lithuanian. And live in...

At Just the Right Moment

2,451 views | Posted by A friend on June 20, 2026

That day, the rain was falling heavily. The sky was dark, everything seemed grey, and there was a certain heaviness in the air. It made me think about how sometimes the world only needs a little more color, warmth, and human kindness. Earlier that morning, around 6:30, I had gone swimming. When I got off the train, I was rushing...

My dad gave me his airport pants

2,420 views | Posted by a friend on June 28, 2026

I'm 36. When I was a kid (before cell phones) if we ever went to the airport or somewhere with a lot of people, my dad would wear these pants. He called them his airport pants. The purpose was that if we ever got separated, I would either be able to spot him, or I would be able to go get help and give them a very detailed description of...

I like to think that even helping someone with something small is worth it

Hi, Everyone! I hope your day is wonderful. It's not much, but I try to do something nice whenever I can. Yesterday, we were at a store and I went in for a few things as my better half and our pup were in the truck. As I was walking back to the truck, I was about to pass a woman who appeared a bit older than I am...

Fellow veteran did the right thing at the right time

I had an experience that has stuck with me for months now, and wanted to share. I was parking at the veterans parking at the local supermarket, and this old leathery dude started approaching me. I am brown skinned and he looked like someone I was half expecting a confrontation from. Anyway he asked me where I served, I...

What Makes You Rich

I hope this new story of mine reminds all of you of just how rich you really are. God bless you always. You know you don’t have a lot in this world when you have to buy used tires. I was a young dad working in a local saw mill and struggling just to make ends meet. I drove an old, green clunker of a car that burned...

My Daughter Beth

My daughter Beth is a special soul whose gifts of love and kindness must make Heaven smile every single day. Not only does she help me care for her two Special Needs brothers but she is also a “Snow White” to the stray cats and wild birds in the area. I noticed this especially when Beth took a few days for a vacation...

I gave the tallest man I've ever seen my exit row seat, and it made me feel great

2,278 views | Posted by A friend on June 29, 2026

I was traveling recently with some friends and on the trip home, we missed our connecting flight. We ended up getting scattered seats on a flight a few hours later, and I ended up in the exit row. I've never been in an exit row before. After getting settled, someone came down the aisle and he was so tall he was hunched over...

A Single Bowl of Dog Food

I hope this new story of mine reminds you to always do what you can to make this world a better place. God bless you always. It was a hot summer’s afternoon several years ago. I was sitting at my kitchen table addressing a letter when I saw a stray dog wander into my backyard. He was a reddish mix of several breeds...

The little things make such a big difference

2,245 views | Posted by A friend on June 20, 2026

I was out of town this past weekend, getting ready for the 9 hour drive home. Tried to get bottled water out of a vending machine but it didn’t work. Went to a kiosk in the mall. As I approached, I noticed a sign that said “out of ice - out of pop”. I asked the woman behind the counter if they had...

The world needs more Emilys

2,235 views | Posted by coolcalmcurly on June 23, 2026

I remember starting 8th grade days after my mom passed away. I sat in front of the class and just stared at the little laminated memorial card from her funeral on my binder. The teacher noticed and asked me if I wanted to excuse myself. I went in the hallway and cried. Teacher came out and asked me if I'd like a buddy to go with me to...

My grandpa finally learned how to video call, and now he won't hang up

2,198 views | Posted by Emma on June 27, 2026

My grandfather avoided smartphones for years because he said they were "too complicated." He is a really stubborn man to be fair. I was told that a few weeks ago my cousin sat down with him and showed him how to answer a video call and they practiced a few times until he got the hang of it. I had offered to teach him a...

Did a Random Act of Kindness and Witnessed One As Well

2,164 views | Posted by A friend on July 3, 2026

So, for context. I work in an Assisted Living facility that has a memory care area. If a resident in Assisted Living gets a dementia diagnosis and we have rooms in memory care, they sometimes get moved over to the memory care side. The front doors to the building lock around 7 when the receptionist leaves for safety reasons. So, I...

My mom gave me this note in high school, and I still have it almost 10 years later

2,131 views | Posted by CMStan1313 on June 22, 2026

I've kept it all this time as a reminder, but not of a reminder that she's proud of me (she tells me that often enough I don't need one). I have a lot of anxiety. Years of therapy have helped to manage it, but when I was in high school, it felt like I was barely treading water to keep from drowning most of the...

Hurting my knee on vacation gave me faith in human kindness

2,098 views | Posted by A friend on July 4, 2026

I slipped and hurt my knee hiking in a small town and an elderly gentleman came over and said he would wait and help me up when I was ready. So sweet. Then the local cafe gave me a bag of ice to put on it and people everywhere were being considerate. I waited out front of the pharmacy for it to open to get...

Lost and Found

I lost my lens cap on a 5 mile hike today. I searched for it the whole way back. By the time we approach the trailhead, I'd given up hope. Then, my son spotted it on the picnic table. Someone else had found it and left it there for me. Thank you...

A doctor’s wife who didn’t know me did something amazing

I wanted to post this as it was exactly 60 years ago. I was 12, my sister was 6. My dad was in Vietnam with the Air Force. We were driving back to South Carolina from Virginia, early in the morning. Halfway there, at 6 in the morning, I was asleep in the back seat and my mom blacked out (we think). It was a...

My son woke me up this morning all excited to give me this gift that he and my daughter helped make me for Father's Day. They drew on the hat and then my wife embroidered it herself. The two orange characters are my wife and I hugging while getting married, per my son :') ...

A prayer for a deer

I'm a taxi driver in the mountains of Colorado. Early on Sunday morning, July 5, 2026, at about 12:30am, I was on the freeway heading west just outside of Vail. Suddenly, a deer jumped in front of my cab, and I hit it broadside. It was thrown about 50 feet in front of my car, and there was significant damage to my car. I pulled to the...

The Elderly Woman with Groceries and No Umbrella in the Rain

I was at a CVS store in the pouring rain in Texas. An elderly woman was outside with a basket wwith wheels full of things, just standing there. I asked her if she needed help. She told me she was waiting for the rain to stop. I was in a small car, no room to put in the basket and her, so I asked her how far she was...
