The Mom Ahead of Me Couldn't Afford Milk. The Cashier's Reaction Broke Me.

The grocery store was packed. The young mom ahead of me was digging through her bag, embarrassed, trying to put back the milk and cereal to afford the bread. People behind were sighing. The cashier didn't say a word; she scanned a coupon, pulled a few dollars from her own pocket to cover the rest, and whispered, "Merry Christmas, honey." The mom left in tears. This is what the holidays are about. #RandomActOfKindness #GroceryStore #Struggle #Humanity
