Hi all,
I just wanted to share a story that occurred on April 1st. My mom's car broke down while running errands and she decided to take my car to finish the last of the errands. We went together to Kroger and got her groceries. We pulled up to a line and the cashier rang up half our order and then the whole machine died wiping out her order. By now my mom who most people know can handle things was at her breaking point and keep in mind this all happened on April Fools. The day where pranks can be funny and good nature or bad luck. We were moved to the next lane and had to scan the last few items first and then re-scan all the others. The cashier told my mom she was sorry for the inconvenience (which was beyond anyone's control) and told her she saved $35 in coupons. My mom jokingly said that this would go to car getting fixed fund. We proceeded to go out and put the groceries in the trunk when one of the two ladies behind us in line came up to my mom. She said "God Bless you and please take this gift for your troubles" or something along those lines. My mom tried to refuse this but the lady insisted on it and walked away. Me being nosy and curious shut the back door and went to the trunk to find my mom standing in shock and very moved to tears with a brand new $100 bill. She was completely grateful and flustered that I offered to drive her home while she calmed down. This was a not an April Fools joke at all, this was an act of an Angel and decent human being. On a day when most people would hide from the world because of all jokes and everything else that comes with that day, we went out, had a few problems and then the kindness of strangers brought a lot of light in that day.
