John and I came out to our car at the mall after a movie and discovered we had left the lights on...dead battery, and it was 9:30 at night. We walked over to Walmart to buy a battery...they didn't have the one for our car. So we bought some battery cables in hope someone would give us a jump. On the way out, we were discussing what we should do and the lady that works at walmart said "I get off at 10 o'clock and I will be right over there to give you a jump". We thanked her and went back to our car and lifted the lid...one of the security guards came to us and said "here, let me give you a jump". Now our battery was dead, dead. So after a few minutes, our lady from walmart showed up, and the security guard and she waited till the battery charged up enough which was a good 20 minutes and that we could be on our way. Maybe a small thing to many folks but such a life saver to us at the time. Just random acts of kindness from total strangers to total strangers. And thats what I call Aloha. May we all not be too busy to show little acts of kindness when the situation presents itself. It may be for someone else this time, but us next time.
