Just a few hours ago, I was crying in the bathroom at work softly (or so I thought).
A woman who had just finished washing her hands asked me if I needed some water and I said, “No, thank you. I’m fine,” in what must have been a very unconvincing voice.
She left the bathroom and I struggled to pull myself together. I got up and blew my nose, trying to not blow snot over myself when I heard the bathroom door open again.She was back with a handful of soft tissues. You know those special kind with the lotion on them?
She handed them under the stall door and said, “Here. These are a lot softer than toilet paper.”
I took them and choked out the words thank you and she left me to clean myself up. After she left I just started crying harder than before. Her kindness was exactly what I needed. It was such a small thing to do, but I felt so overwhelmed with the sense that everything will be okay.
I just want her to know how much I appreciate her kindness. Since I don’t know who this person was because I couldn’t see her through the stall, I’ll probably never get the chance to thank her.

Watch the eyes. Pay attention and you might be surprised. You may figure out who it was. Even if you don’t, I think she already knows. Hope whatever caused your tears has lost its power. Best wishes.

That was kind. I hope you feel better. I’ve felt like that at work plenty of times, usually because of toxic co workers.

I suspect it may have been that somewhat mysterious, “Teary-Eyed Tissue Fairy” that I’ve heard spoken of from time to time, and if not, perhaps one of her equally mysterious, “Teary-Eyed Tissue Fairy’s Teeny-Tiny But Totally Terrific and Terribly Trustworthy Helpers”. They also get around quite a bit from what I’m told. I hope you are feeling much better now. 😉
