A few days before Christmas, a friend called me to see if I wanted to grab a coffee. I agreed immediately. Two coffees later, I was talking when I noticed my friend wasn’t listening. She was clearly distracted (分心) by something over my shoulder. Turning around, I noticed a woman trying to get her bank card to work.
“Do you know her?” I asked my friend.

“I do. Give me a minute. I’m going to go and see if I can help,” she replied, stood up and walked over to her.
A few minutes later, my friend returned with the woman. The woman looked pale, tired, and upset. Her eyes were swollen, as if she’d been crying all night. After I was introduced, my friend asked her if she was okay. She admitted she wasn’t and burst into tears.
I could sense she was a little embarrassed by her emotional response. To put her at ease, I quickly told her not to worry. I shared that I was a new mom with many troubles and I’d already cried fourteen times that day. She laughed but soon her tears were flowing again.

For the next hour, my friend and I both sat and patiently listened to her. She lost her husband before Christmas and their bank accounts were now left nothing. As a stay-at-home mom of two, in one split second, her entire life had come crashing down around her.
We tried our best to cheer her up. My friend even tried to give her some cash, which she refused. When she finally got up to leave, she wiped her tears, thanked us both for listening, and walked out.

As I drove home, I couldn’t stop thinking about how depressed she looked when she left the coffee shop. No one deserved to feel so sad especially right before Christmas. There must be something I could do to help. My mind raced for a solution.

I decided to buy her family a few gifts to make Christmas a little better for them. I knew it wouldn’t solve their problems, but it could relieve their pain for at least a day. On arriving home, I called my friend with excitement and explained my plan. She agreed immediately. On Christmas Eve morning, we drove to the woman’s house and sent a large box of food and a few gifts to her children, all addressed from Santa. The kids were overjoyed and excited when hearing that Santa sent them gifts.

We insisted that Christmas was a time for shared joy and Santa didn’t accept returns. Eventually, the Mom accepted our kindness with tears of gratitude and joy (感激和喜悦的泪水) rolling down her cheeks. From that day on, I understood the power of kindness and never missed an opportunity to spread some around. I may not change the entire world with these small acts of kindness, but they can easily change someone’s world when done from the heart.
