We walked out together, and at the door, she asked me why I’d done it. I told her the truth, that her kindness made me realize how simple it is to care. She smiled, and hoped I’d pass it on, and gave my arm a squeeze before we parted.
Thinking about this encounter, I realize that I forgot about the soda long time, but the moment stayed with me forever.
Kindness doesn’t require notice or anything in return, it only requires a chance and a person ready to take it. That lady in all likelihood never realized how much she gave me in that brief moment in line at the store. And since then, I’ve tried to be on the lookout for those hand-it-down moment, one gesture at the time.
