Stranger at doctors waits for elderly lady to use stairs.

a doctors surgery built with red brick and tiles, some large sections of window in it, and a street light outside it. The light is on but it is daylight but overcast.

There was an elderly lady coming down the stairs at my doctor’s surgery so I waited at the bottom before heading up.

When she realised I was waiting for her, she said something about her knees, she seemed to feel she needed to justify being slow, so I just reassured her that there was no rush and she could take all the time that she needed.

Tell me about a kindness you saw, did or received today.
