I could barely afford food during law school. I met Lily in class, we were like sisters.She saved me. She would buy me food, and she even helped me study to pass the bar exam. Right after graduating, she vanished.
I didn’t ask about her, I was too busy becoming a big lawyer and paving my way. All I know is that she quickly got married and became a housewife. 14 years later, a woman came and said, “I’m Lily, we finally meet again!”
I couldn’t recognize her at first.
She wasn’t the blond, bright, and carefree girl with glimmers of hope in her eyes. Instead, the woman standing in front of me looked tired, much older than her actual age, and deeply sad.
I froze when she gave me a small pouch. I opened it, and inside there were some money bills.
I looked at her and she started to cry. She said, “These are all I have. I heard you became a successful lawyer.
I need you to help me leave my husband.”
It turned out she wanted me to help her get a divorce. Her husband was a bad guy, but she wanted her kids to get a bit older before she left him. She didn’t know who to turn to, but she googled my name and found my law firm.
I hugged her and told her that she was in safe hands.
I said that I would work on her case for free and even help her and the kids settle into a nice home. But mostly, I would help her start her career as a lawyer. Because I never forgot how kind she was to me during college without expecting anything in return.
Our grumpy neighbor never spoke to anyone. After my dad passed in 2018, we found groceries on our porch every Friday. No note, no explanation.Months later, I caught him sneaking away with another bag of food. He just shrugged and said, “I know how it feels to lose someone.”
Turns out, he’d lost his wife years ago. Sometimes the quietest people hold the loudest kindness.
In high school, I was too embarrassed to admit I’d lost my backpack.A classmate quietly handed me hers and said, “Keep it, I’ve got another at home.” She never mentioned it again. Years later, I found her working in the airport I was passing through. She didn’t remember me, but I did.
I told her I’d graduated, thanks in part to her kindness. She laughed, shrugged, and said, “We all carry each other sometimes.” I cried at Gate 42 like a child.
When I was maybe 4 or 5 years old, I made friends with another kid in an airport, and he was playing with a couple of glued-together Lego cars. Me and that kid played for like an hour with those things, and when it was time to go our separate ways and board the plane.The kid insisted I keep one of the cars, and while I insisted he should keep them, he said it was proof that we were friends. To this day, roughly 20 years later, I still have that car packed up with my childhood mementos box.
A girl came to the diner looking like she’d been crying for hours. She ordered tea, sat in the corner, and kept checking her phone.Then she came up to the counter and whispered, “Can you pretend to be my friend?” I didn’t ask questions—just sat with her until a man left the shop looking irritated. Turned out he was her ex who wouldn’t leave her alone. She left me a $5 tip and a doodle of a coffee cup smiling.
I still have the doodle pinned on my fridge.
Remember, thumb enclosed in fist, is Help!!! Me!!!
A wet dog followed me home during a storm.I dried him, fed him, and posted photos online. No one responded for days. I started calling him “Biscuit.”
Then a little girl from down the block knocked on my door.
She was so polite it hurt, “I think that’s our dog.” I handed him over. The next day, she came with her mom. She gave me a drawing of Biscuit with me, and her mom brought me cookies.
Still see Biscuit on his daily walks. He always pulls toward me.
My card was declined while buying lunch on my break at the grocery store where I was working. The customer behind me handed the cashier $20 and insisted I keep the change (my lunch was around $5).I was 18, living on my own in a new city after leaving home, and just generally having a hard time. This was 10 years ago, and I still tear up thinking about it. She had no idea how much I needed that random act of kindness that day.
On the bus, an old man’s grocery bag split open.Tomatoes rolled everywhere. Before I could react, three teenagers jumped up, gathering everything and handing it back. He smiled like it made his whole week.
I expected them to sit back down laughing. Instead, they asked if they could carry his groceries to his building.
Someone just threw 4 at our windows. My husband went for his 9.
