I Found an Elderly Woman on the Roadside on a Snowy Christmas Eve & Took Her Home

Despite being a struggling single mom, I had to help the elderly woman I found out in the cold on Christmas Eve.

I never imagined that my simple act of kindness would lead to a mysterious luxury SUV at my door — or heal my broken heart.

I pulled my threadbare coat tighter around me as I trudged home through the thickest snow I’d seen in years. I was bone-tired from scrubbing floors in the Grayson mansion, but I was almost home.

But I couldn’t complain. My job was hard, but the Graysons were kind enough for rich folk. Besides, I had five hungry mouths waiting for me at home.

The streetlights cast long shadows across the pristine snow, and I couldn’t help but think of my late husband, Jason. He would’ve loved this kind of night and probably would’ve dragged the kids out for an impromptu snowball fight.

God, I missed him. Three years felt like forever and yesterday all at once.

I almost didn’t see the woman huddled on a bench, shivering in the darkness.

My first instinct was to hurry past. We barely had enough for ourselves, and the roof had started leaking again last week. But something made me stop.
