Stories of Kindness from Around the World

For The Two Little Children Who's Mother Was in the Hospital


--by kiwicat, posted Jun 23, 2017
I was getting a few stationery supplies, when I overheard a grandmother telling two children they could choose a few things to keep themselves occupied when visiting their mother in hospital. The children made very modest choices - drawing items, paper and play-doh.

I was first at the checkout, and the family were behind me. Emotions bubbled over with the little boy and he started crying. Grandma gave him a hug and said that their Mum would be okay.

I added a $20 gift card to my purchases and asked the checkout operator to give it to the family behind me. Its very hard to be discreet with the recipients standing behind me!!

I didn't stay to see their reactions. Just a gift from our family to theirs, and hope that things improve for them.
