It's refreshing to hear about random acts of kindness by caring human critters. Sounds like appropriate acts too, paying attention to you, the mum, and your wishes. Old-fashioned sharing.
We've started getting to know people in our new neighborhood, and are finding that even in the local QFC, people will take the time to get to know you, to special order stuff you say you like, and look for things (like a pedometer) and call you to let you know they're in. In the grocery store! Getting to know the local-owned vid store folk, the take-out places, chatting to passers by. We miss some of the store-owners in the UDistrict who we've known for the last 10 years, but are quickly making new acquaintances. But I do notice that the locals where we are now are less suspicious, more open and friendly, more inclined to ask how your day is (and mean it). Nice.
