Kindness from Strangers: Ray at the Supermarket

People Almost Met: Ray at the Supermarket

This story is one of a series about people whom I have almost met. The stories are about chance encounters with someone that lasts only a brief minute or two, but makes an indelible impression. It’s about encounters that in a small way change my life.
The encounter is too brief for an exchange of names. We may speak or touch, but we haven’t really met—hence the title, “People Almost Met.”
This story is about an elderly gentleman I almost met one day at the supermarket. I never learned his name, so I’m just going to call him Ray because he was like a ray of sunshine to me. 
I "met" Ray briefly at the supermarket.

An elderly man was kind to me.
