Story 11:
I bought a dining room table off Facebook marketplace after my ex took ours during the separation. It was a tough season. Went to pick it up and there was no way I was fitting both the table and chairs into my vehicle. I also failed to bring bungee cords.
The FB stranger, knowing very little of my situation, immediately loaded up her van with the chairs, helped me secure the table into my car, followed me home (all the way across town, tailing me to make sure the table didn’t fall out on the highway), and helped me move the new furniture into my dining room.
It was one of the kindest things anyone has ever done for me. I sent her a handwritten thank you note and gas money, but there is no way to adequately express the gratitude I have for that person and her kindness.
Story 12:
It was 1958 and l was going to a small county elementary school. 6th grade. A guy in my 6th grade class was the best looking, the best athlete and smartest guy in our class, Mr Everything. The 6th grade held a Halloween Social every year. It was the only school dance l ever went to.
Well, the girl down the street from me wanted to dance with this guy, but he was dancing with the most popular girl all night. She started to cry in the corner, someone went to him and told him what was going on. He came over and asked her to dance. She was smiling from ear to ear.
She wasn’t the best looking or popular girl, but even at 11 or 12 he made her day. I’m 78 years old and still tear up thinking about it. What a great guy. High school QB and baseball pitcher, then Ivy League college.
