Dear Editor:

On Friday, April 26, I was shopping at Walmart . When I got to the checkout I couldn't find my credit card.

I've been under a lot of stress lately and was getting more and more flustered the harder I tried to find it and knew the lineup behind me was getting impatient.

A young 20-ish man with short blond hair, behind me said he would pay my bill which was about $50.

I kept trying to get his name so I could repay him and he simply said one day he'd be a senior and maybe someone would do the same for him.

When I got home I cried with gratitude. People talk about young people being indifferent. This young man not only did this wonderful random act of kindness for me but hopefully touched the hearts of the others standing in the line behind me. The cashier said he had never seen anything like it before either.
