It turned out that the waitress had noticed my date’s discomfort and quietly paid the bill herself, sparing us from the embarrassment.
It wasn’t about the money or the card; it was about compassion, empathy, and the kindness that keeps humanity connected. That evening became more than a date—it was a reminder of the goodness that exists in the world.
From that night on, I carried those two words with me as a symbol of hope and encouragement.
Whether in grand gestures or quiet, behind-the-scenes acts, kindness has the power to heal, uplift, and remind us of what truly matters.
And sometimes, all it takes is two simple words to change someone’s story forever.
