Yesterday, my Uber driver, John, opened his heart in a way I’ll never forget. He spoke of the unbearable loss of his daughter at just 29, and of the moment he held his father as he took his last breath. His voice trembled as he whispered: “Why couldn’t I bring her back?” The grief in his words was heavy, but so was the strength it took to share them. 💔

As I stepped out of the car, John gently placed his hand on my arm and said: “Don’t let the world change you. Keep smiling, keep being kind. You never know what someone is carrying. Thank you.”

That moment reminded me that behind every stranger’s face lies a story of love, loss, and resilience. Sometimes, the smallest kindness—listening, smiling, simply being present—can shine a light in someone’s darkest corner. 💫🙏
