    Text - 5thAxiom 24d Still brings tears to my eyes thinking about this simple act of kindness. I've never really used my Facebook account for a few different reasons. But a couple of years ago a guy with the same first and last name as myself contacted me through Facebook messenger. He lived several hundred miles away from me in a different state. He told me that my grandmother (who has dementia) had recently made a facebook account and had mistaken added him thinking he was me. She was upset bec

    Text - _celli 24d S 3 Awards I'd been saving a 100$ bill in my wallet for months on end waiting to use it. Every time I went to spend it, my gut said no. Every time I went to give it to a random panhandler, my gut said no. A few weeks ago, I saw a woman with her child on the side of the road asking for money for diapers/ formula. She didn't have any of the hallmarks of a long term homeless person or of a junky. Just looked like a desperate mother in need. As I passed her, my gut just said "it's

    Text - jillywillyfoshilly 24d My mom works really stressful hours so she thinks my dad is the one cleaning the house and doing all the laundry when really it's me. He thinks she's doing it, she thinks he's doing it. No one ever talks about it but I don't take credit because it makes them more relaxed and happy with each other. -) Reply 1.0k EnthusiasticCloud 24d That's really kind :) make sure to look after you too! 197

    Text - S_vdM 24d S 1 Award My dad can't work anymore due to ill health. He receives a little money from the government, just enough to enable him to get by. One of his biggest passions before he had to finish work was building model railways, he has 2, both are still unfinished. He had to stop working on them because he no longer had the money to continue. When I took over looking after his finances I started to transfer some extra money from my wages into his bank account so he could start work

    Text - Thai_Food_Mary 24d My mother was adopted and just recently found her birth parents. They had to give her up because they were way too young and couldn't support themselves, let alone a child. When she finally met then, they are basically exactly like her and are the parents she was always meant to have. So, long story short, I've been finding any old photos I can of them and editing them into photos taken of our family around the same time, so they can see what it would be look like if th

    Text - Shapedlikeapotato 24d I recieved one of those Gillette body care kits in the mail. So I walked in the living room to tell my dad thanks, and he had this little grin on his face and said "huh, wonder who got you that" So I figured he was wanting to keep it a "mystery" so i went a long with it, all the while his dumb little grin got bigger, so I guess it made him happy to surprise me. I did hurry up and get rid of the box, before he could notice that it had his name printed in the received

    Text - voice_of_craisin 24d I've told this before. I have a very hectic work schedule. For years I had a standing meeting where I had to go over to a law firm for about an hour. New counsel started at the law firm and cancelled the meeting. I, however, kept it on my calendar. Every Wednesday I come in in a suit because of this very important meeting that everyone knows I have to go to and can't have anything else scheduled during it or receive calls. What actually happens is that I walk over to

    Text - RandomAwkward Female 24d S2 Awards My parents neglected to give the family dog the proper nourishment he needed. I was in highschool, and walked to school. There was a shelter by my house. So one day, I took him on my way to school (without anyone knowing) and on the way I dropped him off at the shelter, saying we 'couldn't afford to keep him' He needed that. I heard he got adopted by a loving family, and he's happy. As for my family, I told them he ran out when I opened the door. Edit: t

    Text - Remarkable_Walrus 24d At my last job, there was another kid who loved Hamilton as much as me. I had control of the speakers one day (we worked in a kitchen so as long as we kept the volume reasonable we could play what we wanted) and I heard her desperately trying to keep calm and handle all her different tasks. She was muttering something about "it's such a bad day, but it'll be over soon" or something along those lines... less than halfway through her shift. So as soon as she left the k

    Text - jemmo_ 24d When I was growing up, my parents were quite poor. They kept a small stash of cash in a particular spot for emergencies. My grandfather used to come over while they were at work and sneak money into it. He would also bring a case of Coke/ Pepsi and leave it on the counter quite openly. In case any of the neighbors mentioned seeing his car in our driveway, he would say, Oh, I was just dropping off a case of soda as a treat. I caught him doing it one day when I was home sick. Fas
