I Want My Pregnant DIL to Babysit My Daughter’s Kids for Free, Despite Her High-Risk Pregnancy
I always go to the same flower shop, and one day, the cashier commented with a smile, “You must have a very lucky wife with all these flowers.” The truth? I don’t have a wife; the flowers are actually for my daughter. She lights up when she sees them, and it’s worth every visit.
I’ve been secretly learning Spanish to surprise my boyfriend, who’s from Spain. Recently, I overheard him on the phone with his mom, planning something in Spanish, assuming I couldn’t understand. He said, “I’m going to take her to a nice restaurant, and that’s where I’ll propose.” Now I’m just waiting, trying not to let him know that I know!
When my mom passed away, a stranger came to our door. He handed me an envelope with money, explaining that my mom had helped his family buy tickets to visit when they lost someone. She never mentioned it to us, and it made me realize just how special she was.
Back in middle school, I noticed classmates were sometimes going through hard times. I’d sneak little notes of encouragement and add a few dollars, just to brighten their day. I’d secretly slip the notes into their lockers and never told anyone.
As a kid, my mom went through a really rough patch, and I’d often check on her at night. One night, I kissed her on the cheek as she slept. Years later, I overheard her telling someone about that night, saying she felt touched by an angel. She has no idea it was me.
Once, I was celebrating my friend’s birthday at a restaurant. He insisted he didn’t want anyone paying for his meal, so I secretly took care of it and told the waiter to say it was on the house. He’s still raving about the restaurant’s “amazing” service.
After my best friend passed away, a friend of his wife shared on Facebook that she couldn’t call anyone because her phone had been disconnected. I paid her bill anonymously to help her stay connected during such a hard time, and she still has no idea who did it.
When I was young and expecting a child, I’d get a lot of judgmental looks. One day, a kind older woman gave me $20 for diapers and wished me the best. Her kindness made an impact on me that I’ll never forget.
These touching stories are simple, yet remind us of the incredible kindness and love in the world.
