Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Neighborly Care at the Post Office


--by amelianina1, posted Nov 15, 2014
Today, my friend and I went to the post office to mail a package to an old friend. She teaches religion, and we make red, white, and blue rosaries in honor of our men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our friend had expressed interest in our handmade rosaries, and asked if we could send some of these specific ones. 

While we in line at the post office, I heard a woman begin to choke. Alarmed, I asked her if she needed water or anything else. She explained that she had asthma, and would be alright.

Even though nothing needed to be done, it made me feel good to show concern for a neighbor to the same degree and quality that I would home someone would show for me, if I ever needed it. The more I offer these small gestures of support, the friendlier the world seems to be. :)
