Sometimes strangers can surprise you!

You probably have at least one story about a random stranger who made your day. You’ve probably also been that stranger in someone else’s anecdote! Whether it’s through an act of kindness or a brief conversation, something special happens when you connect with someone you don’t know. Even if you never see that other person again, their memory will always bring a smile to your face!
