At Walmart, a simple request from an 85-year-old man turned into a life lesson. Instead of wanting to use the phone for himself, he asked to take a picture of a mother with her little girl.
With a gentle smile he said, “Time goes by so fast. These are the best moments.” His words carried the weight of a lifetime, and the longing of someone who would give anything to relive those days with his own children.
That single act of kindness reminded her—and all of us—that these fleeting seconds with loved ones are priceless treasures. Sometimes strangers come along not to take something from us, but to give us perspective we’ll never forget.
