In a heartwarming display of kindness, a little girl and her grandfather managed to brighten a woman’s day with a few thoughtful gifts and a heartfelt note. This random act of goodwill has quickly captured the attention of many online, motivating others to spread kindness in their own communities.
The story was shared by Sarah Lane on the social media platform Love What Matters. Lane recounts her experience while out running errands when she heard a young voice call out, “Excuse me.” Expecting to be alerted about a lost item, she turned to find an 8 or 9-year-old girl offering her a bouquet of daffodils, a chocolate bunny, and a note. Surprised, Lane asked, “Oh my goodness, why?” The girl’s response was a gentle reminder for us all: “Because you’re special, and people need to be told they’re special. And we all need to be kind to each other. So these are from me and my Granddad.”
Lane was utterly moved. Later, she read the note more thoroughly and discovered the girl’s name—Mia. She expressed her gratitude by thanking Mia and her grandfather for their touching gesture, stating, “You are both so kind, which makes you special too.”
Inspired by this encounter, Lane reflected on a “random acts of kindness” initiative her daughter’s Scout troop had recently undertaken. They performed small acts like gifting a bag of popcorn and candy to someone at a Redbox or leaving a plant for an elderly neighbor. The joy radiating from surprised recipients mirrored the delight on her daughter’s face, reinforcing the positive impact of such simple gestures. Now, her daughter is eager to devise more ways to uplift others.
Lane concluded her post by expressing how Mia and her grandfather had truly made her day, promising to cherish the note and refer back to it during tough times. “You’re absolutely right,” she added, “we do need kindness in our lives.”
