You Matter Moment of the Week
“It may sound a little cliche to say ‘you never know what someone else is going through,’ but I experienced first hand just how much truth there is to this statement.
I wanted to give my first You Matter card to a random stranger. I didn’t know when or where this would happen, but I decided to trust my gut. I was waiting in a department store checkout line and engaged in conversation with another lady. By the end of the conversation, I knew she would receive my first card. When I handed her the card, she began to cry and shared her recent battle with breast cancer. There I stood in the middle of the store with a perfect stranger, crying with her, and letting her know she matters.
My story doesn’t end there. I had one more purchase to make at the same store. While paying for my merchandise, my gut told me to give the cashier a You Matter card. When I handed her the card, she began to cry. She too shared a story with me. She had just escaped a five-year physically abusive relationship. Once again, I found myself standing in the middle of a department store crying with a total stranger.
Giving a You Matter card to these ladies touched my life just as much as it touched theirs. I smiled all the way home.”
