After her mother died in January, a grieving woman kept calling her number just to hear her voice until the phone company disconnected it on New Year\u2019s Eve, leaving her devastated. A kind stranger found her crying outside her apartment, sat with her in the cold, listened to her grief, and stayed until midnight, offering her a phone number and encouraging her to call whenever she needed someone. Days later, the woman discovered the number was disconnected, but instead of feeling abandoned, she felt comforted, wondering whether the stranger had been one final act of kindness from her mother, helping her begin the new year ready to let go and heal.<\/p>\n
