2. A Few Dollars That Saved a Dinner
I once stood behind an older man at the grocery store. He came up a few dollars short. The cashier looked annoyed, and people in line groaned. Without thinking, I covered the difference.
His eyes filled with relief. “You saved my dinner with my grandson,” he said.
A week later, I saw him again — this time with a boy who looked about 10. They both waved and gave me a thumbs-up. It wasn’t the money that mattered — it was the connection.
