Thanks for sharing such a heartfelt story Suzy! Two “kindness of strangers” incidents from my time living in Japan immediately leap to mind. Firstly, stopping at a convenience store to ask for directions to a hostel when driving in a strange city - the kind staff member was finishing his shift and insisted on driving there, out of his own way, for me to follow.
Secondly, losing my wallet in a department store (with a whole month’s rent in cash inside). Someone handed it into the concierge! No name left so I couldn’t thank them.
And one from my teenage life in Northern Ireland - I lost the £10 I withdrew between the cash machine and shop. My mum insisted I report it to the police, which I thought was a waste of time, but a kind lady found it and handed it in!!! She wanted to be anonymous, but the police allowed me to get flowers delivered for when she had to go in and sign a form to release the cash to me as claimant, so at least she got a thank you! 💐 there are good people everywhere in the world 🥰
Angels unaware is what I call them. It's stories that like yours that remind me that God does bend an ear to us and uses His power through others to show us He is with us. Thank you for sharing.
Sometimes I think there are people who are like armchairs that wrap themselves round you, don't give unsolicited advice or ask questions but support you just be being there.
Aw, wow Suzy.. this made me choke up! 😟 How wonderful and so touching and kind.. I love it! ❤️ Its stories like this that help to restore my faith in humanity... there is a lot of love and kindness in the world 👍💖
