unforgotten kindness - gorzek - 03-04-2025
What's something kind someone did for you a long time ago that you've never forgotten? It doesn't even have to be a big thing. Just something that sticks with you.
Last night I was cleaning up my office, and I keep my collection of scarves in my closet. I don't know, I just like scarves.
I noticed the multicolored scarf hanging there, hand-crocheted, and I recalled how I got it.
I was on a message board in the late '90s/early 2000s, and I helped this girl who went by the name Safiya set up a website, as she didn't really know how to do that.
I didn't ask for anything in return, I just wanted to do something nice for her. Lo and behold, one day I received a package with a scarf and a card, where she explained how much she appreciated me helping her out. The scarf was clearly handmade and really nice. It was just totally unexpected, and I know it must have taken her many hours to make it.
It's probably one of my favorite things that I have. We lost touch and I'm sure we haven't talked for over 20 years by now. But I hope she's living her best life.
What about the rest of you?
