"My partner and my family are always doing kind things for me My dad bought a big cake just so he could give half to me and biscuits that he knows I like. My partner makes me coffee, buys me small treats and makes sure my car is all ok. Strangers are very rarely kind to me ![]() How nice to be treated like that! And so regularly! | |||

"I received a wonderful gift in the mail last week, containing something I’d neither asked for, or ordered. Someone on another forum that I’m a member of saw the I was interested in buying items for sale but would have to wait until the new year. 2 days later, a parcel showed up with my wish list packed inside. Worth a significant amount of money I might add. I cried a little b…….I mean I got something in my eye. " Wow, loved reading that! | |||

"I had a heart attack in June with no real family close by or friends, when the Doctor told me I couldn’t go home and literally had to go to an ICU ward immediately I needed help. It’s simple things like pjs or a phone charger, never mind all of the little stuff that helps you get through a traumatic experience. I contacted work to let them know and as they were aware of my situation they immediately started a Watts App meeting to get everything I needed from the supermarket. A manager of mine paid and brought it to the ICU, she couldn’t even hand it to me herself due it strict lockdown procedures. I’d gone from feeling alone and a bit desperate (I never ask for help) to feeling cared for by work mates. My manger refused outright for me to repay the money she spent. Endless messages asking how I was and if I needed anything. When leaving hospital those who knew where I was offered lifts home at any time of the day or night. It’s out there and often not where you imagine it to be, that milk of human kindness. I owe that kindness now and those who helped me as well. Actually feel quite emotional writing this, there’s more decency in most people than you realise. " Oooh, how lovely ![]() | |||

I totally agree with you regarding the levels of kindness from strangers and colleagues. Thank you for sharing. | |||

"Recently?....none." Nobody has text you, rang you out of the blue, checking in on you ? No silly presents ? Nobody in a shop passed you something, shared something etc ? | |||

"I had abdominal surgery a few months ago but I had to travel 4 hours for it. My mum finished washing all our laundry and baked me my favourite cake for getting home. Another friend travelled across country to spend a couple of days with us to help out because I couldn't do anything. Not only was my husband doing everything, he had me to take care of too. It's nice when people do something to lesson the load of every day life. " It's lovely just knowing that people want to help you ![]() | |||

"Loved hearing all those uplifting stories so thanks for sharing. When anyone does something kind to me, I always feel immensely grateful but also has the effect of making me want to do something similar for someone else...and I love the feeling it gives me; its quite infectious! Does anyone else feel like that too? " I can't help it, if I see someone that I perceive I can assist, I do, in a heartbeat. It is just a natural instinct for me. | |||

Occasionally, if I know a persons address, I’ll Amazon gift something they’ve spoken about. | |||

I also love the act of unexpected acts of kindness too....buying a coffee etc for a stranger in the queue or similar random acts... | |||

"My brother and his wife transferred me money towards a new pushchair I wanted for my baby as he didn’t settle well in his other. They also gave up their time to come over and give me a break, including having him over night on 2 occasions at mine, I live two hours from them but they have been an amazing support and visit every few weeks as they know I was struggling in the early days especially as our mum is no longer with us. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||
