―Pablo Casals
A teacher friend
of mine texted me a couple of days ago to ask if I was at the School Mass so
that I could take a photo of her daughter who was performing. Unfortunately, I wasn't. My friend was there, but as an inveterate
rule follower, she was sitting somewhere where she could not really see her
daughter. She was disappointed and
doubting the merits of her good-girl tendencies. But later that day, someone came through. Another mom sent my friend two photographs and
a video of her daughter. My friend was
very happy and appreciative of the other mother's kindness. The other mother may have wondered whether to
bother taking a photo (maybe photos had already been taken) or whether to send
them. But in the end, this other mother
decided to reach out, to act and in so doing, she made another mother's
day. What continues to be very apparent
is that we never know how greatly our seemingly small kindnesses may impact
the other person.
