I walked into the store recently to buy another week’s worth of groceries for me and my sons. As I went through the doors I saw a man struggling to separate two shopping carts stuck together. When he got them apart he pushed the first one to me with a smile. I thanked him and started going up and down the aisles. They were...

A while back my mom got turned around driving in an area she didn’t know well, she isn't good with Google map or anything of that sort, for whatever reason it all hit her at once. She pulled into a parking lot, got overwhelmed, and called the number on a nearby business sign just to ask for directions because she was too flustered...

I have been sick since Tuesday, causing me to miss work. I moved out here to a new apartment where I am after surviving homelessness and DV. I head back to work tomorrow and I'm excited, even though it's a two hour walk from me, I'm just trying to continue to pick up the pieces to my life on my own. I ran...

A Single Gesture of Love

My new story is about how a single gesture of love can change a life. I hope you enjoy it. God bless you always. Not everything you learn in school comes in the classroom. Sometimes academia falls short. Sometimes the wisest lessons come at the most unlikely times. One of the greatest lessons I ever learned didn’t...

Yesterday I went to a local bread shop near my work, to grab some bits for my breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately the online payment system decided then was a good time to go offline, after about five attempts to get ot to work. As I didn't have any cash on me, the person serving, said they would hold my purchases if I wanted...

I was traveling alone after a long day of delays and missed connections. By the time I reached the train station it was late evening, the kind of quiet where everything echoes and most people are just trying to get home. My train wasn’t coming for another hour. My phone battery was almost dead and I hadn’t...

To me this is love

My husband noticed that no one was eating the oranges. I said that I think I subconsciously avoid them because I have eczema on my hands and peeling them hurts the little cuts. The next day this was in the fridge. He proceeded to peel 6 oranges for me every Sunday to last the week, and has continued to do so...

Several strangers helped me get home safe in Nashville

A couple years ago I was visiting Nashville and went out on Broadway. Around 1 a.m. I was way more dr*nk than I should have been. While getting into a taxi near the stadium I dropped my phone without realizing it. I couldn’t even remember what hotel I was staying at. Eventually the taxi driver dropped me off somewhere and I...

A Beautiful Bond Between Kids and Seniors

My late mother spent her final years in a wonderful assisted living facility. Pricey (private pay, no Medicare) but they ran the place like a resort, not a nursing home. Very near the facility is a daycare. With parental permission, the daycare would make “field trips” around each major holiday to visit with the...

A stranger helped my dad in a way I’ll probably never forget

2,247 views | Posted by zaramalikdollface on March 16, 2026

This happened when I was a kid, but it’s one of those moments that stuck with me for years. My dad and I were at a grocery store late in the evening. It was one of those quick “run in and grab a few things” trips. I remember being tired and leaning on the shopping cart while he checked out. When the...

I've been dealing with car issues recently. My alternator went out and after I had it maybe 3 weeks, that one went out as well. It's been repaired again. Anyway, my coworkers were incredible in giving me rides to and from work so I didn't have to take any time off. My mobile mechanic even dropped me off and...

Witnessed a stranger comfort a crying person, and now I’m also crying

I took my dog to the park and we posted up at a respectful distance from a young man who was already there. After about ten minutes he gets up and moves further away, then starts absolutely wailing. I mean like full body sobs, we all know the kind. I’m trying to mind my business while also wondering if I should...

I had an emergency surgery. When I woke up, I was unable to walk and had to undergo 4 months of occupational and physical rehab. When I was finally able to return to work, I faced quite a challenge. I had to use a walker at first and then a cane. My office was across a very large building. However, there is a service entrance that...

You saw me slowly shuffling and limping across the parking lot and not being able to bend, twist or lift my groceries into the trunk of my car. You chose to come over and ask if I needed help. And I really really did! Thank you for this very small kindness. Sincerely, Someone learning to accept the...

Giving To Yourself

I have been writing for many years now and over that time I have gotten a lot of letters and e-mails of appreciation from people my simple words have touched. One time, though, I got something that surprised me. It was a pre-paid card with $250.00 dollars on it. The person who sent it said she wanted to do something nice for me since my...

On the way to the park we pass over a small bridge that my daughter calls the troll bridge. This bridge is about 20 feet over a small stream. On this day there were a bunch of angsty teens hanging out both on and under the bridge. Right at the entrance to the bridge is a girl who is doodling in a notebook. She had...

I saw a sweet moment between residents at work the other day

I work in a memory care facility. Sometimes the residents get upset for no reason. One woman, who is normally incredibly sweet and funny and cheerful, had a bad day last week. She just started crying out of nowhere. Like, full on, breaks-your-heart-to-hear crying. One of my coworkers was sitting with her, trying to...

A 3-year-old’s first bike ride didn’t go the way he imagined… but what happened next is the part his dad says he’ll always remember. After a long walk to the park, Andy’s son was excited to finally take his brand new bike for a spin. He hopped on, pushed down on the pedals… and...
