- I was left alone with a baby and no money. And then a classmate wrote to me, whom I brushed off many years ago. He wrote that he was aware of my situation and invited me for the position of personal assistant. I knew what kind of “assistant” he needed, but I still accepted his offer. He invited me into his office, and... there was my high school friend.
They are a sweet couple, married for 3 years, he is the director, and she is the head of the department, and she needs a personal assistant. She’s laughing and says, “My head’s not so good after giving birth.” And I smile and think, “You’re not the only one.” © Mamdarinka / VK - I once worked as a cashier in a cafe. Once I found a purse. A woman came at closing time, she was pale as a ghost. She thanked me for a long time before she left. But that’s not all.
The next day, she came back and praised all our staff for finding her purse! And she didn’t come empty-handed. She brought a large and incredibly tasty cake. Good always comes back!
And here is another pile of kind stories that can make you cry with delight.
