Unexpected Kindness in the Grocery Store Parking Lot

"The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street."
~ Robert Doisneau

On a recent evening, I went to the grocery store to quickly pick up two items.  As frequently happens, I ended up buying more than I intended and I struggled with two heavy bags through the parking garage to my car.  In my peripheral vision, I saw someone pushing a cart very close to me, but I could not see who it was.  At one point, I turned around to find the 20-something-year-old son of someone I know who works at a nearby restaurant.  It seems that he had been trying to catch up to me to say hello.  And then he made the offer -- which I immediately accepted -- of carrying my bags to my car.
