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

2,528 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...

Shout out to the wonderful person who delivered the package to the wrong apartment

2,447 views | Posted by A friend on June 15, 2026

So I came home from work tonight after finishing my shift and after dropping my coworker off at his residence because I have a car and he doesn't. At my apartment, I see a package. I didn't order any packages to be shipped to me for anything. I saw the package wasn't for me and which apartment unit to deliver it to. I...

At Just the Right Moment

2,396 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...

Hold the door open for somebody the next time you go out

2,389 views | Posted by Sophia on June 17, 2026

In 1990, I went to a conference with a new friend/colleague. We were walking around the venue trying to find the room for our next session. A worker came around the corner pushing a cart full of chairs, heading for the room behind us. I got out of the way, but my friend went over to the room and held the door open for the worker. My gast was...

It really does not take a lot to be remembered forever by people if you're kind

2,261 views | Posted by A friend on June 16, 2026

About a month ago I went to my local Miniso to pick up a gift for my little sister for her birthday. I got her a blind box and some tube of these rainbow sour stripes. As I was paying for it, the girl at the register mentioned to me that she'd been meaning to try them forever, but just hadn't gotten around to it. So, I grabbed...

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

2,237 views | Posted by Sunny-the-Sunflower on June 26, 2026

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...

What Makes You Rich

2,235 views | Posted by Joseph J. Mazzella on June 24, 2026

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...

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

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

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 dad gave me his airport pants

2,174 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...

My daughter makes me paintings

2,160 views | Posted by A friend on June 13, 2026

I work in the trades so sometimes I have to leave home for weeks or months at a time. My daughter and my wife always make me little paintings like these, and my daughter helps me pack my bags and says "take these with you daddy so we will always be with you and you will always remember us!" I hang them in...

Complete strangers helped save my dog's life

2,133 views | Posted by A friend on June 18, 2026

I was walking my sweet little dog in a public park when she was attacked by another dog. I won't get into specifics but she was badly hurt. I freaked out, started screaming, didn't know what to do. Then people gently started approaching to see if we were okay, and someone brought us some blankets and some water. A car came...

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

2,072 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...

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

2,057 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...

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

2,046 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...

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...

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...

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 :') ...

Did a Random Act of Kindness and Witnessed One As Well

1,599 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...
