Taking Along the Memory of Kindness

"How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!"
Maya Angelou

One of the guys who worked at our local pizza joint was leaving his job after 13 years.  He was a fixture at the shop, always smiling, anticipating orders, being incredibly welcoming.

The week before, the owner of the pizza shop shared with one of the mothers who frequents the place that the employee was leaving, so a small group of mothers got a cake, a card and a couple of gift cards for the departing employee and showed up with their families on his last day.  The employee seemed genuinely touched by the mothers' kindness.  They let him know that he was appreciated and that he would be missed.  I imagine that wherever he goes, he will carry the memory of that kindness with him.
