November 28, 2025 Black Friday this is a true story. My daughter was that woman. Through our lives, we have all been tested. I can’t say I did the right thing every time but one time comes to mind. I found a wallet in the shopping cart parking lot lot of a grocery store.. looking inside there were over $600 in cash several pictures of a single woman and her three small children. A phone number of emergency contacts her father listed in number one. Do I take it into the store Leave It at customer service and somebody steals the money yes I have no faith in mankind. So I called the number and spoke to the father. The woman beside herself because that’s all the money she had for the week and three small males to feed. I met the father in the parking lot. He tried to give me a finders fee. I told him it’s not a good deed if he paid me anything .. that statement took him back. you never know what you will do and say and how it will affect another person. I wish I could say my whole life. I did the right thing, but when I was younger, that was not so. But it made me feel good to know I did the right thing that day. And I might add I really needed that money. I could’ve used it. I’m living paycheck to paycheck, but it wasn’t mine to keep. I’m interested in other experience. People might have had weather good or bad. What would you do if this situation happened to you.
