In September, a girl transferred to my high school from Florida. Her second day here, she was killed in a car crash. Even though no one really knew her, the students made a memorial replete with flowers and gifts and chalked all the walkways with “In Loving Memory.” Strangers loving strangers GMH.
Almost daily on my way home from work I would pass the same homeless man, and sometimes give him money when I had cash on me. One day he was suddenly gone. A week went by, then a couple months, then one day I bumped into him. He was dressed quite well, and handed me $100.00 and said “thanks, I finally got a job.” GMH
When I was in grade 7, all my supposed friends blew off my birthday party when they said they would come. Only one person showed up. My older sister had some of her guy friends over, and when they saw how sad I was, they cancelled their plans to hang out with me on my birthday. Teenage boys who care about their friend’s little sister GMH.
One time my mom and I went to see a movie, but when we stepped up the booth to pay the worker told us the women in front of us had paid for us. My mom then decided to pay for the people’s tickets behind us in line. Then people continued the cycle all the way til the end of the line. This spreading of simple kindness from one person to another GMH
Today, My grandmother got her first cellphone, and she called me over to change her background to a picture of my departed grandfather who died 16 years ago. Her never ending love, GMH
