It's easy these days to turn on cable news and lose faith in humanity amid scenes of Russia's attack in Ukraine, so it's heartening to hear of simple kindness.
State Rep. Ranjeev Puri, a Democrat who represents Canton, Belleville, and Van Buren Township, tweeted Friday about his gesture at Kroger. It may not be the biggest act of kindness, but we certainly don't see enough of it.
Standing in the checkout line at Kroger during Friday rush hour, and I let a mother with a newborn and two other toddlers cut in front of me in line. She started crying and said "you have no idea how much I needed this right now"
