Cold Times in Pittsburgh and Warm Kindness - Just a Thought

I was 20 year old college student at the University of Pittsburgh. I am finished with classes and looking for a cheap meal. I mean like 1.00 or so. I kinda live this way for a year. Not enough cash ever and usually eating rice and vegetable mash from my weekend job selling vegetables and fruit at the strip.
I end up at "The O" and enter from the sandwich station and work my way around the to the pizza side. To heat up a bit. I had a 250cc old Ninja as transportation and it was October or November. Good thing that got ran over before the first snow fall.
After scanning all the prices I decide I don't have enough for a slice pizza either. I already really knew that. I stand for a second and I guess I had a pretty desperate look. At least I warmed up a bit before trying to get back Monroeville.
This women with her 3 children says, " You can have a slice of pizza if you like. Lord knows we have been blessed recently", something like this.
I sat down and we just had small talk after that. What was I studying in school, where am I living and so on.
She was very inviting and I would have been embarrassed but she made it so casual as if I was a family member to sit down.
Not the craziest thing, but I just remember the amount of compassion I could feel and how starving and miserable I was.

Nothing special, but was sitting today drinking coffee and thought about her.
