A Child's Kindness

"We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

This evening, my children and I made a cake to celebrate my father's 76th birthday.  My father died 13 years ago yesterday -- a day before his 63rd birthday.  When we put the candles on the cake to sing Happy Birthday, my eight-year-old ran to get his violin and played Happy Birthday to his grandfather.  My son's kindness brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my heart.  It was one of those moments that I will always treasure.
