Today at the gas station, I overheard a woman in her late 20s telling two men to leave her alone. I walked over and said, “How was the meeting today, darlin’?”
She looked at me, caught on right away, and replied, “It was good. I’ll tell you more when we get home in a few.”
I smiled and added, “Wonderful. I’ll grab your favorite for dinner.”
The two men quickly walked away. She turned to me and said, “You have no idea how much that meant to me… thank you.”
I nodded and replied, “You’re very welcome, ma’am. You can never be too careful.”
I stayed nearby until I was sure the men were gone, then headed back to my car. As I walked away, one thought kept running through my mind: I hope someone does the same for my future daughter one day.
