Wonderful story. It’s alway good to hear about random acts of kindness. I’ve been the recipient myself on many occasions and am always inspired to pay it forward.
Wow Mickey, the whole neighborhood tale over the years……grouchy man, one never knows his story, cheery wife, makes up for grouchy man….don’t know what she went through before breakfast…..”Got more coffee? So glad it’s Friday! I’m sick of these customers, let’s move.” “No, dear we have to pay off ~~. Let’s keep going and see what next month will be like” “Mrs Human was nice to me yesterday, didn’t fuss about needing more quarters”. ~~~Really lovely, sort of Wind in the Willows under the river bank LOL LOL
brought a tear to my eye. So seldom do we get to know people.... until it is too late. At least you made friends before they left! I hope they ended well.
What a lovely tale, Mickey. Thank you. Good reminders embedded. Oh, human life and its toils. Best.
Thank you, Kathleen. 🙂
I'm still working on integrating these lessons. I like to think I've made some progress.
Love this story and the picture. Ordinary places like this that define the texture of everyday life are too-little documented.
Thank you! 🙂 And I'm with you. I treasure the ordinary and do my best to aim my camera in its direction.
Ya got me cryin, man.
Thank you for being such a sensitive soul. 😭
Me too!
💖😭🙏
Me too!
Bless you, Dee... 😭
The simple joy of friendship is a miracle of sorts. Wonderful story, Mickey. It made my day.
Yes! It genuinely felt miraculous that he and I were sharing laughs and smiles. Thank YOU, James!

Amen, Jeff! 🙏
It’s sad that we have evolved to this point in America. Get to know your neighbors, you’ll be a better person for it.
Amen, George! 🙏
The title tho 😂 I didn't feel cheated for once
Aww...thank you SO much for zeroing in on that! I accomplished my goal! 😂
Lovely story, thank you Mickey 👍
Thank you! 🙂
One never knows who needs a smile or a kind word. Share them freely wherever you go! Thank you for sharing, Mickey.
😀😁😊😍
"Everything Everywhere All At Once" vibe.
Interesting! I hadn't even pondered this experience through a multiverse lens.
All human encounters have eternal significance.
Amen, Kev! 🙏
