― Kahlil Gibran
A friend of
mine's daughter in New Jersey had surgery yesterday. I wanted to send the little girl a small
treat, so I called the cookie shop I use in New York only to find that a gift
would not arrive before Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. I Googled a florist in the town where they
live, but did not find anything that would make sense for a little girl. After searching some more, I found a
chocolate shop in their town. I called
and asked whether they delivered and they said no. I explained the situation to the woman who
answered the phone. And... despite the
snowy weather up north and the fact that it was Valentines' Day (which I had
somehow forgotten), the woman from the store delivered a lovely package of
chocolate goodies to my friend's daughter within a couple of hours of our conversation. My friend was delighted and she said the gift
brightened her daughter's day. The
mission would not have happened but for the kindness of a woman named Erin in
New Jersey.
