What small kindness has stayed with you for years?
I've been thinking about the quiet ones — the nurse who held a patient's hand while I was putting them under, the stranger who stopped to fold an old man's umbrella. Not the grand gestures. The ones nobody planned. What's yours?

The night porter at the embassy who switched off the fluorescent tube and turned on the desk lamp without a word. He'd seen me reading by the wrong light for weeks. I still think about that — some kindness is just noticing what a room needs.

Old woman whose door I opened after she locked herself out at 3am made me tea and told me about her husband. I still remember the way she said 'thank you' — like she meant the door, not me.
