While on a walk on the bike path, I noticed an older man riding his bike stop ahead of me and leaning over his handlebars. He appeared to be in pain.As others just continued past him, I stopped and asked if he was okay. He said he was, and I said I was concerned since he looked like he was in pain.
He told me that he was and told me about how he had by-pass surgery not long ago and the doctors said it would be good for him to bike.
Once I was convinced he would be okay, I continued on. He road past me, thanking me for stopping.
It wasn't much but it felt good to do so. Even though he was a stranger, I was willing to stop to assist. This is my small act of kindness story for today.

I try if even for a few mins to make their day a happy and pleasant one.
I always ask them if they need a ride somewhere or if i could help them with something around their house.
I think it means alto to them when i always inquire about their heath and give them encouragement.

It breaks my heart when i lose one of them. Because i let them all into my heart.
