Life has a way of sprinkling little reminders that kindness still thrives in the world.

For one tall husband and his wife, an ordinary shopping trip became a charming back-and-forth of helping hands and shared smiles.

Read on — this one will melt your heart!

My tall husband helping short woman with items on top shelf at store and her helping him back

Was at Walmart earlier today with my extremely tall husband.

It wasn’t long before they noticed someone in need.

We walked down an aisle and noticed a very short woman trying to get something off the top shelf.

She was our granddaughter’s age and seemed embarrassed to need help.

They couldn’t communicate in conventional ways, but somehow, they made it work.

Glad to help, and obviously he got it for her. She spoke a language we don’t, so it was a cute interaction of pointing at stuff and head nodding.

And then something even cuter happened.

A little later, we were on another row and my husband reached to get something from the bottom row, knees creaking in the process. The same woman was going down the row we were on.

She came up behind him and gestured to the bottom row. Yep, repeat reverse interaction of head nodding and pointing.

It felt like being at exactly the right place at the right time.

The look of satisfaction on her face was beautiful. Honestly, it looked like she realized her value and not to sell herself short. (Not a deliberate pun.)

She brought out the happy grandparents in us. I love kind people in this world.

Now this is what true community looks like, people!

Moments like these can work wonders in restoring your faith in humanity!

There are plenty of ways to help out a fellow stranger in the supermarket.

Sharing a laugh with someone can be just as good too.

Some people really depend on the kindness of strangers, and it’s always a great thing when you can oblige.

Both parties walked away from this supermarket interaction with their hearts lighter and their smiles brighter.

Human connection is a beautiful thing.
