The Kindness of Knowing What Someone Needs

"We cannot accomplish all that we need to do without working together."
― Bill Richardson

On the days when I accompany one of my children to an after-school activity, I try to pick up my other child and drive her to another school campus for her activity.  If I don't drive the second child, she ends up walking (albeit with supervision) to where she needs to go.  Because it's hot and they carry such heavy backpacks, I try to pick her up whenever I can.

The other day, I realized that I could not shuttle one child to the other campus, and still arrive in time to go to the after-school activity with the other.  As I was feeling a little badly about it, I received a friend from my terrific friend and co-mom saying that she was driving my daughter, along with hers, from one campus to the other.
