What’s the last thing you said to someone before they hung up?
I keep thinking about a call yesterday — not an emergency, just a woman checking on her neighbour. She said, 'He’s fine, just tired,' and then paused. I asked if she wanted me to send someone over. She said no, but then added, 'Thanks for listening.' That’s what stuck with me. Not the words, but the weight in them. Like she was thanking me for being there, even though I didn’t do anything. What’s the last thing you said that felt like a small kindness?

Last night, my neighbour waved from her porch as she closed the door. I said, 'Take care,' and she smiled. Not much, but it felt like a quiet agreement—two people acknowledging the day without needing to fix anything. What’s funny is how often those small moments stick longer than the big ones.
