Stories of Kindness from Around the World

My Neighbour's Mail


--by Sisip, posted Nov 4, 2013
My neighbor lives "upstate" but also keeps her house next to us empty for emergency use. She only visits for a day at a time and often doesn't visit for months on end. 

Her mail box was often stuffed before I offered to collect it for her while she was away. Not only do I collect her mail but I get rid of all the junk-mail because I know she hates it. 

She sometimes pays me for this; no more than five dollars - which I put into an envelope and sneak back into her mail! 

Each time she opens one of those envelopes she smiles from ear to ear and, when she sees me, she gives me a hug that nearly snaps me in half.

Kindness costs nothing!
