Random kindness

At the doctor's earlier, just after the nurse went through the cocktail of drugs that they had for me, she smiled and said, "Get better soon, yah?"

Which took me by surprise really, seeing as how the bulk of the population can't even afford a smile.

There and then, I had to fight off all urges to hug her, cry and say, "I hope so too."

Thank you, I-never-got-your-name. I strayed into a shop shortly after my appointment at your clinic and bought me some colourful socks. And seriously, I do feel better. Even if it's just a wee bit.
