Everyday Angels
What couldn’t chocolate fix? Sharon Wilkins of Gilbert, Ariz., wondered, scanning cookie packages in the grocery store. Chocolate chocolate chip, peanut butter chocolate chip, chocolate fudge swirl—which kind would cure Sharon’s anxiety about her upcoming mastectomy?
“Sharon!” a familiar voice called. Relieved to run into a friend, Sharon shared her fears about her surgery. “Bert Seacat had the same procedure,” the friend said. “And she’s as feisty as ever.”
Minutes later, in the checkout line, Sharon couldn’t believe what she saw: the long brown hair, the ear-to-ear grin. “Bert!” she yelled.
Outside the store, Sharon and Bert had a nice chat. “You can do it, Sharon,” Bert said. “I’ve been there. I did.”
Every woman knows it’s hard to top chocolate. Luckily Everyday Angels are even sweeter, and always free.
Do you have a friend who's
always there with an encouraging word? Or perhaps you witnessed an anonymous act of kindness and want to share.
