When Megan Shufflebarger took her 2-year-old toddler to the store to scope out a few birthday presents, she didn't expect a chance encounter with a stranger to turn into this.
Her little girl Kinley was taken by an adorable doll. She "oohed" and "ahed" over it at Target. That's when Megan saw a young couple noticing Kinley. The young man began to interact with her.
"He asked her which one she picked out and she showed him and said, 'Yeah and I really lub dis one,' Megan wrote on Facebook. What seemed odd is that guy took the doll and walked away.
"They chuckled and he walked off with the doll and said try to stay over here. I thought it was odd at first but was quickly distracted with more oohing and ahhing. Kinley asked where the dolly was she picked and I told her it would be okay there are more," Megan says.
Then the guy returned with a bag. Inside was the doll with a receipt. He told Kinley, "Happy birthday, you enjoy your dolly," and walked off. He didn't introduce himself, he didn't explain, he just brightened up a little girl's day and asked for nothing in return. Like driving a stranger to work or leaving a big tip, a small act of kindness can make someone's year.
"What a reminder to never loose faith in humanity and to be generous and pay it forward. To this generous young man, whoever you are, I hope you see this and more importantly, I hope you know what a good young man you are," Megan wrote.
