Stories of Kindness from Around the World

No Boundaries


--by AmberRae, posted May 8, 2015
I am friendly with an elderly lady at work (I'm pretty new at the company), most of the staff do not communicate with her...she does have some unique traits. 😊😊

Today she seemed down, she didn't stop at my desk for our usual good morning. Later in the day I found time to chat with her and ask if things were ok.

She seemed shocked and surprised that I had noticed something was up...it turns out she had broken a tooth and was just embarrassed it still needed fixing.

After we talked she seemed more herself, I was happy to know everything was ok and that I had crossed that co-worker boundary and dipped a toe in the friendship pool😊👍. I think she was happy that I cared if she was ok, I'm glad tha she knows that I care ❤
