Sharing Kindness Across the Miles

"The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship."
― Amelia Earhart

Today I had lunch with a dear friend and mentor.  She lost her husband nearly two years ago after almost 60 years of marriage.  They shared quite a partnership.  My friend told me that one of her grandchildren had asked her what she missed the most about her late husband and she had said the end-of-day debrief.  So, this granddaughter, who lives in another state, has taken to calling her grandmother at the end of the day to ask her how her day has gone.  My friend smiled as she talked about her granddaughter's kindness.
