Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

kind gesture

Today, a very nice lady moved out of my apartment building, so I thought I'd share something in her honor. She actually signed up for this site, but I don't think she comes here anymore. I didn't know her well. We'd say "Hi" in passing but not much more than that. However, many years ago, when I was having a bad day, she did something very sweet. It was 3 days before Christmas, and I had bought several pairs of fun socks for myself as a treat, when suddenly I lost my wallet. I looked everywhere, but it was gone. It had all my money in it, and I wasn't going to get paid for about a week. I needed money for food, so I had to return all the fun socks I got. When I got back to my apartment building, this nice lady saw that I was sad and asked what was wrong, so I told her. She asked me my apartment number, and a few mins later I got a knock on the door. Outside my door, I found a nice card with $20 in it and a pair of socks. I saw her getting on the elevator and yelled "Thank you!" It was so sweet, and I haven't forgotten to this day. Before she left today, I reminded her of her kind gesture and let her know that I haven't forgotten. I wish her all the best in her new place. This world needs kind people like her. We have a lot of kind people on this site, too, and I'm grateful for you all. Keep spreading the love.
