An Act of Kindness During a Chaotic Time

With this being Kindness Week, I wanted to share a story of what a dear friend did for me.

I have known her since first grade. Over our formative years we stayed close and kept in contact with each other. Through life’s ups, downs and all around I knew I had a friend I could count on.

My Mom had told me years ago, God blessed me with genuine and loving friends. I did not understand what she meant until times came around that I needed a friend’s help. The kindness towards me was never in short supply. I did not struggle to find help. It was always sincere without reciprocity.

I had been dealing with attempting to figure out why my walking pace drastically slowed down. I mentioned what was going on to a medical professional in person and through messages on the office’s system.

I was told I was dehydrated. I drank more water but my pace never increased. I followed up to let them know I was not getting better. I kept getting the same answer for months.

I am guessing the universe decided enough was enough. I had an episode where my head became heavy and I could not keep my balance. Thankfully I was at work and a co-worker saw me struggling.

I appreciated their kindness and their willingness to assist me. They helped me along with a few others and encouraged me to seek medical attention. Thankfully I did without hesitation.

After a couple of scans in the emergency room, I found out I had to have surgery. I was happy to finally find out what was going on with me. I also started to wonder how the healing process would be and who would be there for me.

Once I was home and on my healing journey, my dear Sister friend talked to me everyday for months. We agreed on a time range to catch up with each other. I was given the option to text if I did not feel well.

She let me know since she could not be there in person, she wanted to make sure someone was checking in on me to make sure I was progressing well and mentally good.

It is never easy when you think you are alone in a chaotic situation. Her kindness and support along with many others who stepped in without hesitation let me know God blessed me with people who were genuine in my life.
