At the grocery store, an elderly man realized he was a few dollars short and asked the cashier to remove the small pink-edged cake from his items. Before she could, a woman in line offered to pay for everything. The man hesitated, then quietly explained that it was his late wife’s birthday and he wanted to honor her. The woman hugged him gently, and the whole line fell silent. The cashier wished his wife a happy birthday as she handed him the bag. He left standing a little taller, his grief eased by a stranger’s kindness.
