Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Smile That's Still In My Mind


--by gerry82, posted Jun 13, 2009

I just started using smile cards. One day I was out for my daily walk when I saw this lady sitting by the corner store.  She was a homeless lady, who had all her stuff with her.

The next day she was in the same spot, so I stopped to talk to her about her life story.  A few days later I had my smile card with me and some money, so I went to Denny's to get a gift card.  I gave it to the lady by the store and when I gave the gift card to her with a smile card she gave me a smile that is still in my mind.  She said that she has not eaten in days and from that day on I get a smile from her whenever I see her.
