Greetings of a stranger

I WAS waiting in the front of a shop in Dorchester on Xmas Eve, when a friend I know stopped to ask how I was.

“I am just waiting for my daughter who is in the shop” I replied.

However, this remark was greeted by a short elderly woman of who with a lovely smile said “ Well, I am Here”.

She then went into the shop with family or friends.

My friend and I were very touched by this greeting from a complete stranger and it added to our Xmas festivities in a nice friendly way.
