“Yesterday morning, I took my beautiful friend Juantia out to breakfast. I posted recently about how Juantia’s husband Ross went to be with his Lord a couple of weeks ago after battling illness for some time. As I asked Juanita how she had really been going, she immediately began to weep as she told me all the things she missed about her wonderful husband of 54 years.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I reached out, placed her hand in mine and gently began to stroke it as tears streamed down both our cheeks in grief. All of a sudden, a lady approached our table and said something along the lines of, “hi, I’m sorry to intrude. I don’t know you but I was just driving past and saw you crying so I wanted to buy you these flowers to bring a smile to your face.” Juanita instantly broke down crying as she received a gorgeous bouquet of pink flowers. I informed the lady about how Juanita had just lost her husband, and in response, she kindly wrapped her arms around Juanita, and hugged her tightly.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Through her sobs, Juanita requested the name of this kind lady and she told us it was Kylie. It might have cost Kylie $40 or so to do this, but the kindness and love she showed Juanita through a simple gesture was priceless to both of us and will never ever be forgotten.
