I laughed, ruffling his hair. “Not famous, just someone who did what anyone should do when they can.”

Walking through the aisles, I noticed more little acts of kindness. A young man helping an elderly gentleman reach a jar on a high shelf, a woman sharing her coupons with a fellow shopper, and employees cheerfully assisting customers. It was as though the simple act of covering a few groceries had sparked a domino effect of goodwill.

As we continued our shopping, my heart felt lighter. The world seemed a bit brighter, the people around me kinder. It was a reminder of the impact one small gesture could have. That evening, as I tucked my son into bed, he looked up at me with sleepy eyes. “Mommy, I wanna be like you when I grow up.”

I kissed his forehead, feeling tears prick at my eyes. “And I hope you’ll always be as kind as you are now, my love.”

As I turned off the lights, I realized that the kindness wall wasn’t just about the acts themselves, but about the connections they fostered and the hope they inspired. It was a testament to the power we all have to make the world a little better, one small gesture at a time.
