I Gave My Winter Coat to a Freezing Mother and Her Baby

I’m 73 years old, and since my wife passed away eight months ago, the house has felt unbearably quiet.

We never had children. It was always just the two of us—forty-three years of shared mornings, shared worries, shared laughter. She used to say the house remembered our voices even when we weren’t speaking. Now, it remembers only mine.

Most days, I keep the TV on just to hear something other than my own thoughts.That Thursday, I drove to Walmart to buy groceries. Nothing special—milk, bread, soup, the same things I’ve bought every week since she died. As I pushed the cart back toward my car, the wind cut through the parking lot like a blade. It stung my face, numbed my fingers.

That’s when I noticed her.

She stood near the far edge of the lot, half-hidden between parked cars. A young woman, barely more than a girl, holding a baby wrapped in what looked like a thin bath towel. She wore only a light sweater, the kind meant for autumn, not for a winter afternoon like this.

She was shaking so hard I could see her knees trembling.

I stopped walking.

Something in my chest tightened, the same way it used when my wife used to forget her gloves in the cold.
