Random Acts Of Kindness
28 Answers
I took Dad (80 years old) to London today. It was a sort of trip down memory lane, as he's been unwell lately, and I thought it might cheer him up. We visited Battersea, where I grew up, and where he owned a newsagents (we lived above shop). I was taking a few photos (the shop is now a house), when a lady came out of the front door. I told her the story, and why I was photographing. I couldn't believe it when she invited us in, and showed us around the house. I could see tears in my dad's eyes, and I was filling up too. We could have been anybody. That act of kindness made his day, and certainly mine. Has anybody else witnessed such an act of kindness lately?

Oddly enough, I did a similar thing a few months ago. I had business in a certain part of London near where I went to primary School, and just round the corner was the old home. I knocked on the door, told the youngish woman of the house my story, and she, too invited me in to see how it looks now. She was astonished ( and then some !) when I told her that my father had bought the place just after WW2 for £200 because of the bomb damage. It must now be worth over a million. I'm glad to say it is now vastly more comfortable and more cheerful than it used it be. I, too, thought she was very kind to a total stranger, who could have been anyone.
