Forgotten Phone Leads Stranger To Woman With Cancer - Inspirational Videos

Kevin McGeehan, like most of us, is never without his phone. Every Sunday, Kevin has a routine where he goes to the same coffee shop and gets his favorite coffee. But this one Sunday Kevin happened to forget his phone at home and didn’t realize it until he was standing in line.

Normally, he would reach into his pocket, pull out his phone and start scrolling in his own little world while waiting for his coffee. But this day he was forced to just take in the world around him. It was then that he noticed the lady in front of him with a scarf on her head in a way that he had seen before, when his mom was battling cancer.

Kevin thought back to the time when his mom called him because a total stranger had turned her day around. Kevin’s mom was at the library when all of sudden all of the pressure and fear boiled to the surface and she started to cry, all alone at the library. Out of nowhere, a hand touched her on the shoulder and told her it would all be okay. Then, that stranger took the time to sit down with her and talk her through it.

It turns out that kind stranger had also gone through cancer and that one moment had given Kevin’s mom so much hope. In that moment, Kevin heard the woman in front of him confiding in the terribly busy barista. She sort of brushed the woman aside but Kevin knew this was his time to step up and help someone the way his mom was helped.

So he started talking to the woman. And even though he was going to be late for work he took the time to listen. As they wrapped up their conversation Kevin told her it would all be okay and she told him how helpful it had been to just say it all out loud.

It takes so little to impact someone’s life for the better. And if we all took the time to have one small conversation with a hurting stranger just think how much better the world would be.
