A Simple Act Of Kindness At The Crossing


--by Helenconnell2, posted Jun 14, 2025
A simple act of kindness this morning. I was walking back from the supermarket and I find it's easier if I use the light controlled crossing which is closest to it. As I approached, I saw a family on the other side. The mother was using crutches and the father was pushing a buggy with a child in it behind. He was moving slowly so he didn't catch the mother's heals. I asked them if they needed the crossing and the mother said yes. I waited until they were almost at the crossing and then pressed the button to change the lights. The lights changed so they could walk straight across. The mother thanked me so much for doing it.
