Sometimes Kindness Takes A While

"Kindness is not about instant gratification.  More often, it's akin to a low-risk investment that appreciates steadily over time."
― John Radnor

I read a lovely story today about a young woman who surprised her stepfather on Fathers' Day with a Porsche just like the one he used to have before he married her mother.  Years before, the stepfather had saved money to restore the 1973 Porsche 914, but instead used the money on the wedding to the young woman's mother.  The young woman, who lives in California, spent two years looking for an identical car, which she eventually found in Arizona.  She had it transported to Pennsylvania where her parents live and had it restored, and then presented the car to her stepfather as a thank you for everything that he has done for her.  The stepfather was moved to tears.
