Lady with the coat
In 2021 I went to the ER and I was having severe abdominal pain (appendicitis). The waiting room was full. The only way I could even come close to managing the pain was by lying down. The staff said they had no gurneys to lay on. My husband got some blankets for me to lay on the er waiting room floor on. As I laid there, writhing in pain, a couple hours later, a woman came over and offered me her coat as a blanket or pillow. Although I appreciatively declined as I was on fire with a fever, I will NEVER forget that act of kindness. She was willing to give me her coat to try to comfort a stranger in a terrible moment. That was a life-altering moment of kindness for me.
