2) We Were Struggling—Then a Stranger Did Something We’ll Never Forget

Many years ago, my wife and I were driving home late at night when our car broke down in a remote area. With no cell phones at the time, we were stranded until a college student stopped and offered us a ride into town. When we tried to pay him, he simply smiled and said, “Just pass it on.” That moment left us deeply moved, but as life went on, the memory slowly faded into the background.

Years later, that memory came rushing back. My wife called me at work and told me to turn on the news. On the screen was the same young man who had once helped us, now a doctor. His story was being told not because of his career, but because he had given his life while saving others. Seeing his face again brought tears to my eyes, reminding me of the genuine kindness he had shown us years before.

In that moment, I understood what he meant when he asked us to “pass it on.” Kindness is not about paying someone back; it is about keeping the chain of compassion alive. His legacy lived on in the people he saved, and in all of us who were touched by his generosity.

Since then, I’ve tried to honor his memory by helping others whenever I can. Whether it’s stopping to assist someone on the road or offering a hand to a stranger, I remember him. Not because I owe him, but because kindness is something we all owe each other.
